How to create professional headshots with Adobe Firefly.

Learn how to transform images using Generate Image as your AI headshot generator. This step-by-step guide shows how to use an AI headshot generator from photo to create polished, studio-quality results quickly.

Step 1

Open Firefly.

Log in to Firefly, navigate to the Generate tab and select Generate Image. You will land in the workspace where you can upload and refine your image with guided controls.

Step 2

Upload an image and enhance it with a text prompt.

Upload a reference photo and write a text prompt describing how you’d like to adjust it for your headshot. Try specific prompts with key terms like “photorealistic high-glam” and “subtle cinematic shadows” and add stylistic preferences like “polished Hollywood glamour aesthetic” to achieve the results you want.

For best results, use a clear, well-lit photo with a neutral background and a forward-facing angle. This helps the tool produce more accurate and natural-looking outputs.

Step 3

Adjust your settings.

Set the Intensity and Strength of your reference photo, choose Effects and select options from the Lighting, Camera Angle and Colour and Tone menus to customise your images.

Start with subtle adjustments, then gradually refine lighting and tone to match the look you want, such as corporate, creative or editorial styles.

Step 4

Generate your image.

Click Generate in the prompt bar to see your result. Review multiple variations and choose the version that best reflects your intended style and purpose.

Step 5

Download, share or keep editing.

Click the downward arrow button to download your image, click the upward arrow to share your portrait to the Firefly gallery or click the Edit menu to continue editing your image with AI tools like Generative Fill.
