FaceShot vs ProfilePicture.AI
ProfilePicture.AI is a free browser editor for a photo you already have: remove the background, add a colour, border, filter or text, and download it sized for Instagram, LinkedIn and other apps.
Try FaceShot FreeThe Verdict
ProfilePicture.AI is a free editor. It cleans up and frames a photo you already have, with no account and no watermark, but it does not create a new photo. FaceShot creates a new professional headshot from one selfie in about 60 seconds. If your current photo is already good and only needs a new background, border or crop, ProfilePicture.AI is enough.

Why People Switch to FaceShot
A new photo, not an edited one
An editor can change the background but not the lighting, clothes or framing. FaceShot creates a new professional headshot from your selfie.
Ready in about 60 seconds
Upload one selfie, pick a style and download your headshot about a minute later.
Team plans
FaceShot has team plans with shared credits and a default team style, so everyone gets a matching headshot.
Who each one is best for
No tool is right for everyone. Here is an honest split.
FaceShot is best for
- Anyone who needs a LinkedIn or CV headshot today without booking a €200 photographer
- People who only have one decent selfie, or can take one with their webcam
- Small teams that want a consistent look without scheduling a photo day
- Trying before paying: new accounts get 4 free credits, no card needed
FaceShot is not the best fit for
- People who want the model to learn from a large set of photos of themselves
- Buyers who need SSO or an API: FaceShot has no SSO or public API
- Anyone who wants a human photographer to direct the shoot and retouch by hand
ProfilePicture.AI is best for
- People whose current photo is already good and only needs a new background, border or crop
- Anyone who wants a quick free edit without creating an account
Where ProfilePicture.AI is stronger
You only need a quick edit
If your photo already works and you just want a plain background, a frame or text, ProfilePicture.AI does it for free in the browser.
You do not want an account
It works without signing up and adds no watermark. FaceShot needs an account to create headshots.
FaceShot limitations
One photo in, so the photo matters
FaceShot works from a single selfie. A blurry, dark or heavily angled photo gives weaker results than a clear, front-facing one.
Plan credits do not roll over
Plans are billed monthly (Starter €9.99, Pro €29.99, Business €79.99, Team €129.99) or yearly at 10 times the monthly price. Plan credits are added every month and unused plan credits do not roll over. One-time credit packs never expire.
No SSO, API or integrations
FaceShot is a self-serve app. It does not offer single sign-on, a public API or integrations with HR tools.
Image storage depends on your plan
On a free account, generated headshots are deleted after 30 days. Headshots you generate on a paid plan are kept. Uploaded selfies are deleted within 30 days on every plan.
