From selfie to portrait – powered by AI and your corporate pipeline.
A single selfie is all it takes. Our AI transforms it into a professional business portrait that passes through the entire betterPortrait editing pipeline – with your background, your lighting and your crop. The result: consistent, high-quality employee headshots that blend seamlessly with your existing images.
From smartphone selfie to studio portrait
A quick smartphone selfie is all it takes – our AI creates a professional portrait photo with studio quality. Pose, proportions and gaze direction are automatically optimised, while the authentic appearance is fully preserved. The generated portrait then passes through your entire betterPortrait pipeline: background, lighting, retouching and crop are applied according to your presets. The result is a consistent employee headshot that blends seamlessly into your existing visual identity.
Take a selfie
A smartphone selfie is all it takes – no special setup, no photographer. Your employees can take the photo anytime, anywhere.
AI creates a professional portrait
Our AI generates a high-quality portrait from the selfie. Pose and proportions are adjusted, the authentic appearance is preserved. The result is a realistic, recognisable portrait.
Processing and final result
The generated portrait then passes through the entire betterPortrait pipeline: background replacement, lighting adjustment, retouching and crop according to your presets. The final image blends seamlessly into your existing employee headshots.
A single selfie is enough
No photographer, no studio, no appointment. A single high-quality selfie is all our AI needs to generate a professional business portrait.
Result in under a minute
From selfie upload to finished portrait takes less than 60 seconds. This way, even large teams can be equipped in no time.
Identity preservation guaranteed
Our model has been specifically trained to preserve facial features, skin tone and individual traits. Your employees are clearly recognisable in the generated portrait.
Pose controlled by the company
Define in the dashboard how the portrait should look: frontal, slightly angled or another pose. This creates a uniform look across all employees.
Clothing adjustable
Combine AI Selfie with our outfit change and adjust the clothing to your corporate dress code in the same step.
100% consistent results
Unlike conventional AI tools, every generated portrait passes through your betterPortrait pipeline. Background, lighting and crop are always identical.
Frequently Asked Questions
Standard image processing does not alter the input image itself – it exclusively optimises lighting, background and crop. The person remains exactly as photographed. This is the right choice for use cases with biometric requirements, such as passport photos or ID cards.
AI Selfie goes one step further: a completely new portrait is generated from a simple selfie, with pose, proportions and composition optimised by the AI. The generated image then passes through the same editing pipeline. AI Selfie is ideal when employees don't have the time or opportunity to pose for a professional photo – a quick selfie is enough for a consistent, high-quality result.
No, it is not distinguishable. The image quality of the generated portrait is indistinguishable from a professionally photographed picture. The AI produces a high-resolution portrait that is then processed through the entire betterPortrait pipeline – with identical background, lighting and crop as traditionally created photos. The result blends seamlessly into existing employee headshots.
Yes. Our model has been specifically trained for identity preservation – facial features, skin tone and characteristic traits are reproduced as accurately as possible. The prerequisite is that these features are clearly visible in the source image. With a poor-quality selfie or a partially obscured face, the AI must fill in missing details, which can reduce the resemblance. We therefore recommend a well-lit selfie with the face clearly visible from the front – our web app provides guidance during upload.
A few simple rules help achieve the best result: the face should be well-lit and clearly visible from the front. No sunglasses, no strong backlight. Our web app automatically provides tips during upload and validates the image before it is processed.
AI Selfie can be activated in the dashboard and in digital onboarding. Employees upload their selfie, and the generated portrait automatically passes through the corporate pipeline. We do not recommend activating the feature for the photo booth, as a professional pose under controlled conditions is already achieved there – an additional generation step would not be useful in that case.
No. We guarantee this contractually. Uploaded images are used exclusively for portrait creation and are never used to train AI models. From a technical perspective, this wouldn't make sense either: to train our model, we need professional studio shots as target images – not selfies. All data is processed in compliance with GDPR and deleted after processing upon request.
The AI generation of the portrait takes about 60 seconds. Once you have confirmed the suggested pose, the image goes through the regular editing process – background replacement, lighting adjustment, retouching and crop. This step takes a few minutes depending on server load. In total, the finished portrait is usually available within a few minutes.
