10 Feb. 2025Testing Free AI Profile Picture Tools (So You Don't Have To!)
I've been avoiding taking pictures of myself for so long that when someone asked me for a professional headshot, I had nothing to share. But then I thought - "Hey, this is perfect! I can finally test all these AI tools !"
Since I know some of you might be in the same boat, I thought I'd share what I learned after spending a day testing free AI profile picture generators. Grab a coffee and let me save you some time!
The Mission
Here's what I was looking for:
-
A professional-looking profile picture
-
Using only free tools
-
Nothing too complicated
-
Something that actually looks like me (spoiler: harder than you'd think!)ābut you can be the judge.
I started by asking Perplexity for the best free AI LinkedIn profile photo generators.
Tools I Tested
Supawork AI
-
Gets pretty personal - asked for my age (rude!)
-
Results: Well... it doesn't look like me and it's not what I asked for.
-
Verdict: Free but misses the mark by a mile
Ā
AI Ease
-
Website: ai-ease.com
-
Experience: Super quick process
-
Results: Unfortunately, speed doesn't equal quality
-
Verdict: Free but not worth your time
Ā Fotor
-
Website: fotor.com
-
Experience: Looks promising until...
-
Results: I never got to see any - they want $20/month
Napheadshots
-
Website:Ā napheadshots.com
-
Verdict: Not free.
Ā HeadshotPro
-
Website: headshotpro.com
-
Verdict: Not free.
Vidnoz
-
Website: vidnoz.com
-
Experience: Free and simple.
-
Results: The pictures look nothing like me.
After getting a bit frustrated (and wondering if I have a face no AI can love š), I turned to YouTube guides for help. Here's what I tried next:
Artflow
-
Asked for 5 reference photos
-
Took a few hours and came back with Gal Gadot?!
Aragon.ai
-
Looked promising but - surprise! - not free
Canva's Tools
-
I have a paid account, but none of the apps gave me good results.
The Unexpected Winner: Remini
I stumbled upon Remini through a YouTube video. Here's the scoop:
-
It's a paid app BUT
-
There's a one-week free trial
-
And - surprise! - it actually works!
Friendly Tips From My Journey
-
This is a classic case of "it takes 5 seconds"āexcept it rarely does unless you find the right tool. There are countless "easy and free" tools, but most fall short of expectations.Ā
-
Start with a decent selfieāeven AI needs something to work with.
-
It's not as easy as some content creators make it seem. (Or maybe it's just my face.)
-
AI is not good at creating glasses.
Did I miss anything?
Have you found a free AI tool that actually works? Or had an experience that made you laugh? Drop it in the comments! I'd love to update this guide with more options that could help others who, like me, suddenly need a professional photo.
Btw, this is my favorite picture I got from this processĀ

3 Feb. 2025Let it go, let it goā¦ Do you know when to āElsaā your leads? And no, I donāt mean singing! I mean actually letting them go! āļø
Every salesperson faces this struggle - when do you finally let go of a lead?
We all keep leads in the pipeline just to make it look full, hoping theyāll magically convert. But does that really help? Or are we just fooling ourselves?
AI wonāt do an Elsa for you, but it can create different options that help you see the possibilities and better understand the potential outcomes of letting go.
Hereās how to start:
First, check whatās left if you ādo an Elsaā
Ask AI:
š¹ What happens if I remove all leads that havenāt moved in X days?
š¹ What will my pipeline look like if I close all leads that havenāt engaged with my brand in the last X days?
Now, look at the optimistic side - whatās guaranteed to close?
Ask AI:
š¹ What will my numbers look like with only the leads that are sure to close in the next 90 days?
š¹ Based on last yearās trends, whatās my best-case close rate with leads above a 60% probability?
AI wonāt ādo an Elsaā for you, but looking at your pipeline from both the sure things and the risky bets will help you find the right balance.
At the end of the day, AIās real magic isnāt in crunching numbers - itās in knowing what to ask.
Soā¦ ready to do Elsa the smart way? - Let's talk.
AI is a thinking revolution. What you believe AI is what you think it can do will set the tune of what you will gain from it.
For more on AI - follow me.
Need to organize your thoughts? Letās talk.

26 Jan. 2025š” AI Answers: The New Featured Snippets?
Googleās John Mueller compares the current debate around AI overview results to the early days of featured snippets.
He believes user expectations will evolve, and while AI-driven answers may frustrate some sites, they also open doors for new optimization opportunities.
Here are the exact words by Muller:
I just want to say that all of these discussions we had, I donāt know what was it like 5 or 10 years ago? Featured snippets. Itās basically the same thing, right?
Itās like this is very visible on top and itās like, āI hate it.ā And then a year later, everyoneās like, oh, how do I get in and how do I optimize for it? How do I appear more visibly?
And my feeling isā¦ without kind of any big crystal ball, is that this is something that is going to evolve in a similar direction and I think user expectations definitely change. I think AI type answers make sense for a lot of queries and thatās going to be frustrating for some sites that focus on those queries, kind of like with featured snippets as well. And that also provides a lot of opportunities.
I agree regarding us rushing to get panic by any new chnage in Google search results
yet I think this is a bit problematic comparison.
Why?
Featured snippets are way more prominent compared to a list of sources cited in an AI overview result where the only way to get to these sources is clicking on a tiny icon of link (see image below):
What do you think?

16 Aug. 2024From Data to AI Strategy with Tobias Zwingmann
Join Sarit Lahav, FrozenLight's CEO, and Tobias Zwingmann as they discuss AI's role in business, its human impact, and how companies can develop effective AI strategies combining technical knowledge with understanding of human behavior.
AI and Its Impact on Business
In this conversation, Tobias, an AI consultant and co-founder of Rapid AI, discusses the role of AI in business and the importance of understanding it from both a technical and human perspective. He explains that AI is about learning patterns from data, often historical, to generate outputs such as text or predictions. He emphasizes that AI models are trained on human-generated data, which can lead to both strengths and biases, and he highlights the increasing influence of AI-generated content in shaping modern technology. The key takeaway is that businesses need to approach AI holistically, understanding both its technological capabilities and its potential impact on human behavior, including the risks of biases.
Ā
Understanding AI's Role in Business Strategy
Tobias stresses that AI is not just a technological tool but requires a shift in mindset, especially for business leaders. To leverage AI effectively, leaders must assess how their industries are affected by AI and adjust their strategies accordingly. He suggests that AI strategy should be a roadmap to innovate, grow, and maintain competitive advantage. He highlights the importance of training employees to understand AI on a fundamental level, and advocates for fostering a culture of creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability. This understanding helps identify AI opportunities and ensures businesses can navigate the disruption AI brings to their industry.
