These curated stock images are all AI generated and free to use! Click on each to see a larger-sized .png, or to fix/enhance/upsample.
Need an AI-generated professional headshot that looks reasonably realistic? Don't want to pay $$ for stock photography?
Here are some fake LinkedIn profile pictures where I took "awkward" AI pictures and ran them through a refinement model to
- make the features more realistic
- upscale the resolution
- give them slightly imperfect hair/skin
- crate variations of facial features, ethnicity, and wardrobe
Background: with AI image generation, the best way is often not to try to get the perfect result with a perfect all-encompassing prompt, but
- to generate some reasonable starting point (possibly in lower resolution),
- discard all not-so-great results through good old-fashioned eyeballing (this took me the longest!),
- then refining the result through additional prompts - often using different models, such as those specializing in faces (this took considerably compute time).
Below are some sample images. Are they perfect? No, I did not get them to look as natural as I wanted. But they are unique on the web and better than some others - especially if you tried to generate your own fake profile pictures on the fly, using free-to-use models. (At least as of spring 2024. I fully expect this page to be thoroughly outdated within a few months' time as there will be better images and generation tools widely available.)
