Getting a professional headshot used to mean scheduling a photographer, picking outfits, and hoping the lighting cooperated. With Aragon AI, you can generate studio-quality headshots from a handful of selfies in under an hour. This guide walks through the entire process, from account setup to downloading your final photos.
What you’ll need before you start
- 6 or more clear, well-lit selfies (front-facing, different angles help)
- A few minutes to answer a short questionnaire about your appearance
- A computer or phone with an internet connection
Good input photos make a real difference. Choose recent selfies with even lighting, minimal filters, and a clear view of your face, since Aragon’s model uses these to learn your features.
Step 1: Create your Aragon AI account
Head to Aragon AI and sign up with your email or a Google account. Signup takes less than a minute and doesn’t require a credit card to start.
Step 2: Fill out the questionnaire
Aragon asks a short series of questions: occupation, gender, age range, hair length and color, and a few other physical details. This information helps the model generate headshots that actually look like you, rather than a generic AI face. Be as accurate as possible here, since it directly affects your final results.
Step 3: Upload your reference selfies
Upload at least 6 selfies. For the best results:
- Use photos taken in different lighting and locations
- Avoid heavy filters, sunglasses, or hats
- Include a mix of close-ups and slightly wider shots
- Make sure your face is clearly visible and in focus
Aragon will flag any photos that aren’t usable, so you can swap them out before submitting.
Step 4: Choose your styles and backgrounds
Select the outfits, backgrounds, and overall aesthetic you want for your headshot set. Options typically range from corporate office backdrops to outdoor and studio settings, so pick a mix that matches where you’ll actually use the photos, such as LinkedIn, a company website, or a resume.
Step 5: Submit and wait for generation
Once you confirm your selections, Aragon processes your model and generates your headshots. Most orders are ready in 15 to 45 minutes, though it can occasionally take longer during peak usage.
Step 6: Review and select your favorites
You’ll receive a full gallery of generated headshots. Browse through them and shortlist the ones with the most natural lighting, expression, and framing. Aragon typically delivers a strong usable-photo rate, so you should have several solid options to choose from.
Step 7: Use the remix tool for final touches
If a photo is almost perfect but needs a small adjustment, use Aragon’s remix feature to tweak the background, clothing, or expression without re-uploading your reference photos. This saves time compared to generating an entirely new batch.
Step 8: Download your headshots
Once you’re happy with your selections, download the final images in full resolution. They’re ready to use immediately for LinkedIn, resumes, email signatures, or company directories.
Tips for better results
- Upload selfies from multiple sessions, not just one photoshoot, for more variety in lighting and angle
- Avoid photos where your face is partially obscured by hair, shadows, or accessories
- If your first batch doesn’t feel right, adjust your style selections and generate again rather than settling
Final thoughts

Following the steps above, from selecting clear reference photos to using the remix tool for final adjustments, will help you get the most usable headshots out of your first attempt.
