Use this interactive demo to learn how to generate a professional AI headshot using Canva AI.

Quick summary

Steps

  1. Go to Canva and select Canva AI from the main navigation.
  2. Enter a detailed headshot prompt describing your desired result in the text field.

  6. Pick the image you like from the generated results.
  7. Type in what you'd like to change to refine the image, then press enter.

  10. Resize, crop, or adjust the background, then download your finished AI headshot.

📌 Why this matters

Creating a professional headshot traditionally requires hiring a photographer, but Canva AI makes it possible to generate a polished, studio-quality AI headshot in minutes using just a text prompt. This feature is ideal for professionals, job seekers, and content creators who need a high-quality profile photo without the cost or logistics of a photo shoot. Canva's built-in editor lets you refine, resize, and customize your AI-generated headshot before downloading, giving you full creative control in a single platform. As AI-generated headshots become a mainstream alternative to traditional photography, Canva AI positions itself as the most accessible tool for producing them at scale.
