In short

PhotoGuru AI converts 6-10 phone selfies into HD studio-style portraits for professional and dating profiles. It is best for users needing a one-off batch of polished headshots without a monthly subscription commitment.

Best for

Pick PhotoGuru AI if you need a cheap one-off batch of polished headshots for LinkedIn, dating apps, or a creator profile without committing to a monthly plan.

Skip if

Skip it if you need API access, brand-consistent team headshots at scale, or transparency about the model and training data.

PhotoGuru AI is a consumer-grade AI headshot service that takes 6-10 ordinary phone selfies and outputs HD studio-style portraits across 30+ style packs covering professional, dating, creative, and casual looks. The whole flow runs in the browser with no app install: upload, pick a pack, preview, and download. Alongside the paid headshot packs it offers a handful of free novelty tools - Selfie Score, Photo Roast, LinkedIn Ready Check, and a Tinder Analyzer - which double as a top-of-funnel for the main product.

Pricing starts at $9.99 per pack on a one-time payment model with non-expiring credits, undercutting subscription-based competitors like Aragon and HeadshotPro, and there is a 7-day refund policy. There is no public API and no free generation tier - the free tools score existing photos rather than generate new ones - and the site doesn't disclose which underlying diffusion model powers it, which is typical for white-label headshot apps fine-tuned on top of Stable Diffusion or Flux. It's aimed squarely at job seekers, daters, and creators who want a one-off batch of profile pictures rather than a recurring creative workflow.

Editor's take

PhotoGuru AI is a competent entry in the crowded selfie-to-headshot category, and the one-time pricing is genuinely friendlier than the subscription-heavy incumbents. The lack of model disclosure and any API means it's a consumer convenience product, not an infrastructure choice - fine for a job hunt, not for a design team.
