I’ve actually tried both GIO AI Headshot Generator and Eltima AI Headshot Generator, so here’s a more complete breakdown.
Eltima AI Headshot Generator

YouTube demo:
Eltima AI Headshot Generator works more like a proper AI photoshoot. You upload multiple selfies, and the app builds a model of your face, then generates different styles (business, casual, etc.). It’s a bit more involved, but also more personalized.
It’s designed to replace an actual photoshoot rather than just generate random portraits
Pros:
- Trains on your selfies → much better likeness
- Wide range of styles and scenarios
- Generates multiple usable photos
- Can look very realistic if your input photos are good
- More consistent results across images
Cons:
- Takes more effort (you need several good selfies)
- Quality depends on input photos
- Subscription required
GIO AI Headshot Generator
GIO feels like a lightweight, quick AI headshot tool. You basically upload a photo (or a few), pick a style, and get results fast. It’s more of a “generate and go” type of app without much depth or personalization.
Pros:
- Very easy to use
- Fast generation
- Good for quick results
Cons:
- Results often look generic or “AI-like”
- Not always accurate to your real face
- Limited styles and control
- I personally got several images that didn’t really look like me
My conclusion
GIO is ok if you just want something quick and simple.
But after using both, Eltima AI Headshot Generator felt way more practical and “real-world usable.” With GIO I only got a couple of okay images, while with Eltima I actually ended up with multiple photos I could use for LinkedIn.
Not perfect, but overall it gives better realism and consistency if you do it properly.
I’d personally go with Eltima AI Headshot Generator.
