AI Headshots Generator for Under $5 | Viral "LinkedIn" Trend Using Remini App Tutorial
Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel Jennifer Marie, where I teach you different ways to make money online and how to become a work-from-home freelancer. Today, I want to introduce you to a viral trend that has been taking over LinkedIn recently: AI-generated headshots using the Remini app. This app is truly remarkable, and I have never seen anything like it before!
The Trending TikTok Phenomenon
If you're a TikTok user, chances are you have come across this trend. People are using the Remini app to create professional-looking headshots for their LinkedIn profiles. The results are mind-blowing! These AI-generated headshots are so realistic that they have garnered millions of views on TikTok. Intrigued by this trend, I decided to try the app out for myself.
Is it Really Free?
Many TikTok users claim that the app is free, and while it is true that you get a free three-day trial, generating AI photos does come with a small cost. To access this feature, you will need to pay $5. However, considering that professional headshots can cost anywhere from $100 to $500, a $5 investment doesn't seem so bad.
Getting Started with Remini
To get started, download the Remini app from the App Store or Google Play. Once you have the app, create an account and accept the terms and conditions. You will also have the option to enhance or fix your existing photos, but for the purpose of this trend, we will focus on generating AI headshots.
Before moving forward, it's important to note that the free trial is only for enhancing your own photos, not for generating AI headshots. To access this feature, you will need to pay $5. Proceed with caution and make sure to cancel your subscription before the trial period ends to avoid any additional charges.
Choosing the Right Model Image
Now that you're all set up, it's time to start creating your AI headshots. Begin by selecting your gender and then uploading 8 to 12 different selfies of yourself. Make sure you are the only person in the photos. Next, you'll need to choose a model image that closely resembles the type of headshot you want. Be careful with this step, as it can greatly impact the final result.
For the best results, I recommend choosing a model image that focuses on the chest and up. AI technology is still improving, and it may not accurately recreate your body, resulting in an obvious fake headshot. By selecting a close-up image, you minimize this risk.
Generating Your AI Headshots
Once you have chosen your model image, click "generate" and pay the $4.59 fee using PayPal. The process will take approximately 200 seconds, so sit back and relax. Once your AI headshot is ready, you can choose to download it or delete it. Remember to save the photo outside of the app, as it does not store them for you.
Experimenting with Different Models
You may find that not all of the AI headshots meet your expectations. The good news is, you will receive a total of 48 photos, giving you several options to choose from. Take your time to explore different model images and find the headshots that best represent you.
If you come across a headshot that you love but need to make some adjustments, such as changing the hair color, you can easily do so using image editing software like Photoshop. By making these small tweaks, you can ensure that your final headshot truly captures your essence.
Celebrating the Realistic Results
After trying out several model images, I finally found a headshot that looked just like me. I even showed it to my friends, and they couldn't believe it was AI-generated. This app truly offers professional-looking headshots at an affordable price. For only $5, you can have a headshot that would typically cost hundreds of dollars with a professional photographer.
Of course, not every headshot will be a perfect match, but for the price, it's a fantastic deal. And remember, when you resize the headshots for your profile picture, they will look even more realistic to others.
Exploring Other Options
If you're looking for a completely free alternative to AI-generated headshots, you can use Canva's Magic Edit feature. I have a tutorial on how to use this tool, which allows you to create professional-looking headshots using your own photos. All you need is a free Canva account. I'll provide a link to the tutorial in the description below.
Conclusion
In summary, the Remini app offers an incredible opportunity to create professional headshots at an affordable price. While it's not entirely free, the $5 investment is well worth it compared to the hundreds of dollars you would spend on a traditional headshot. Take some time to explore the app, experiment with different model images, and find the headshot that truly represents you. And don't forget to cancel your subscription before the free trial ends to avoid any additional charges.
