Studio Gradient AI Headshot
Premium color backdrop
The Studio Gradient headshot puts you in sharp charcoal or navy tailored blazer over a light top, set against smooth seamless studio color-gradient backdrop — a deep navy-to-slate radial falloff with a soft brighter pool of light directly behind the head, no texture or objects. We light it with clamshell key from front-upper with soft fill below, plus a subtle hair-separation light, 5200K, two clean catchlights and grade it kodak Portra 400 palette, true warm skin, cool deep-navy background, glossy premium highlight rolloff. It reads as premium color backdrop, and it's generated from a single selfie in about 60 seconds.

Studio Gradient headshots: FAQ
Is the Studio Gradient style free?
Yes. You get 3 watermarked Studio Gradient headshots a day for free, with no signup and no credit card. The one-time packs ($9 for 30 photos, $19 for 100 in Full HD, $49 for 300) remove the watermark and unlock all 100+ styles.
How many photos do I upload for a Studio Gradient headshot?
Just one selfie. FreeHeadshot runs on Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, which reads your face straight from a single photo, so there's no model training and no 20-photo upload. You can add up to 5 for slightly better results.
What should I wear for the Studio Gradient look?
Nothing special. We render sharp charcoal or navy tailored blazer over a light top for you, so upload any clear, well-lit selfie and we handle the wardrobe, lighting, and setting.
How long does it take, and where can I use my Studio Gradient headshot?
About 60 seconds for the free 3-pack. The Studio Gradient look is built for LinkedIn, resumes, team pages, and social profiles. It is not valid for passports or government ID, which require an unedited photograph.
