Portraify is pitching a simple idea: upload 1–3 everyday photos and get a studio-quality professional headshot back in 1–2 minutes. The service is aimed at LinkedIn, resumes, and company directories, and says selfies are fine as long as the photos are clear and front-facing.
The workflow is straightforward. Users upload their photos, then Gemini AI analyzes facial features and generates a polished portrait. Portraify says the output includes automatic background removal and professional lighting, with high-resolution files ready to download and use.
The company also leans heavily on speed and privacy. It says there is no queue, with headshots generated on the spot, and claims uploaded images are never stored and are immediately discarded after generation. Portraify also says any phone camera works, removing the need for studio equipment.
On its site, the startup lists a few early usage metrics:

Pricing is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. New users get 3 free portraits with signup and no credit card required. Paid tiers are:
- Pro: $25 one-time for 10 portraits ($2.50 each), listed as Save 17%
- Studio: $50 one-time for 25 portraits ($2.00 each), listed as Save 33%
Portraify says credits never expire, a small but useful detail for people who only need occasional profile updates.
