Free and familiar, but not built for serious professional use.

About Canva
Canva's headshot tool is free for existing users and requires minimal effort. The results are softer and more generic than dedicated AI headshot tools.
Canva makes sense if you already use it every day and want a quick test. The friction is almost zero. The results show this: facial detail is softer than any dedicated headshot tool, and images look more like composites than real headshots when you look closely. As a placeholder or quick experiment, Canva works. For anything client-facing or professionally important, I would choose a dedicated tool instead. It is not built for this use case.
