Portreya

Portreya is an AI-powered headshot and portrait generator that turns a few casual selfies into studio-grade professional photos. It is designed for anyone who needs a polished, recruiter-ready headshot for LinkedIn, a warm and approachable photo for a dating profile, a formal portrait for a CV or resume, or a creative shot for personal branding. The core value proposition is simplicity and speed: you pick a style pack, upload a few photos from your phone, and receive high-quality portraits in about a minute, all without booking a photographer, paying a recurring subscription, or waiting days for edits. Portreya is built for professionals, job seekers, consultants, freelancers, and anyone who wants to present their best self online without the hassle and expense of a traditional photoshoot. The platform is founder-led, meaning a small team is directly accountable for the quality of every image. If something feels off, a real person is close to the product and can help fix it. Portreya offers a variety of packs tailored to specific moments, including LinkedIn Shots, CV Shots, Dating Shots, Social Shots, and Studio Packs. Each pack comes with its own set of styles, crops, backgrounds, and wardrobe options, ensuring the final image fits the intended context. The process is transparent and user-friendly: you can refine any paid photo by telling the AI what to change, and the system will let you know if your source photo is not suitable before you are charged. Portreya operates on a pay-as-you-go model, so you only pay for the photos you actually use, with no hidden fees or forgotten subscriptions.

Style Packs for Every Moment

Portreya offers specialized packs that are tuned for specific platforms and purposes. Each pack comes with its own crop, background, lighting, and wardrobe rules. For example, LinkedIn Shots are tightly cropped for the circular feed icon with neutral to vibrant backgrounds, while Dating Shots are warmer and more relaxed to feel approachable. CV Shots are vertical and formal, designed to print cleanly on European-style resumes. This targeted approach ensures your portrait looks appropriate and professional for its intended use, without requiring manual editing or guesswork.

Pay-As-You-Go Pricing

There are no subscriptions to forget about or cancel. Portreya operates on a simple, transparent pay-as-you-go model. You purchase a pack of photos for a one-time fee, and those photos are yours to keep and use anywhere. If you need more photos later, you can simply top up with another pack. This makes it ideal for users who only need a few headshots for a job search or a profile update, without committing to a monthly plan.

Instant Generation in Under Two Minutes

The entire process from upload to finished portrait takes about 60 seconds. You start by uploading one clear, front-facing selfie. The AI then processes your photo and generates the portraits based on the style pack you selected. If a detail is not quite right, you can refine any paid photo by telling the AI what to make different, and it will adjust the result. This speed and flexibility make Portreya a practical tool for last-minute profile updates or when you need a professional photo quickly.

Founder-Led Quality and Support

A small, dedicated team is directly responsible for the quality of every image generated by Portreya. This means there is a real person close to the product who can address any issues or concerns. If a photo does not look right or if something feels off, you can reach out for a fix. This level of accountability ensures that the AI produces consistent, high-quality results, and that users have a direct line to the people who can make improvements.

Updating Your LinkedIn Profile

For professionals looking to refresh their LinkedIn presence, Portreya provides a quick and easy way to get a recruiter-ready headshot. You can choose from packs like Classic Corporate, which offers a square, face-forward headshot for recruiter glances and company bios, or Personal Brand, which provides a brighter, feed-visible portrait that stands out without losing professional credibility. This is ideal for job seekers, consultants, and anyone who wants to make a strong first impression online.

Creating a Professional CV or Resume Photo

Job applicants often need a formal, vertical portrait that prints cleanly on a CV or resume, especially for European-style layouts. Portreya’s CV Shots pack is designed specifically for this purpose. It offers styles like Executive CV, which is formal and document-friendly, and Specialist Advisor, which is warm and restrained for consultants and analysts. This ensures your application photo looks polished and appropriate for the hiring context.

Building a Dating Profile That Stands Out

A good profile photo can make a significant difference on dating apps. Portreya’s Dating Shots pack provides relaxed, good-light portraits that feel approachable without looking like a corporate headshot. Styles like Warm First Photo and Travel Context help convey personality and lifestyle, making it easier to attract the right matches. This is useful for anyone who wants to present a genuine, appealing version of themselves without hiring a professional photographer.

Personal Branding for Social Media

Influencers, freelancers, and entrepreneurs often need a consistent, polished look across their personal social media profiles. Portreya offers Personal Social Shots, such as Analog Candid and City Night, which are designed for Instagram, WhatsApp, and other personal feeds. These styles are polished but still feel casual and authentic, helping you maintain a cohesive personal brand without the time and expense of a full photoshoot.

What kind of photos do I need to upload?

You need at least one clear, front-facing selfie taken with your phone. The AI works best with a well-lit photo where your face is visible and not obstructed. If your source photo is not suitable, Portreya will let you know before you are charged, so you can try a different image.

How long does it take to get my portraits?

Your photos are generated in about 60 seconds after you upload your selfie and select a style pack. If you want to make adjustments, you can refine any paid photo by telling the AI what to change, and the updated version will be ready quickly.

Can I use the photos anywhere?

Yes, once you purchase a pack, the photos are yours to keep and use anywhere. You can download them and use them on LinkedIn, CVs, dating profiles, personal websites, social media, or any other platform. There are no restrictions on usage.

What if I do not like the result?

Portreya is founder-led, meaning a small team is accountable for the quality. If something feels off or you want a specific detail changed, you can refine the photo by telling the AI what to make different. If you still have issues, you can reach out to the team for help.

Portreya offers simple, one-time purchase packs with no subscriptions. The Starter pack costs $4.99 and includes 2 photos that are yours to keep and use anywhere. The Essential pack costs $27.49 and includes 10 photos. You pay for what you use, and you can top up with another pack whenever you need more photos.
