Where LinkPro is the better choice
Guided capture of your face
The quality of any AI portrait depends on the photos it starts from. LinkPro guides you through 8 quick poses (straight on, left, right, up, down and a smile) with on-device face detection that checks your distance, angle and lighting live. You don’t need to find or take a good photo first.
No prompt engineering
To get a convincing corporate portrait from a chatbot, you need to describe the backdrop, wardrobe, lighting, framing and expression, then retry. LinkPro turns this into a few choices made for professional portraits, from your industry to Minimalist Studio or Executive Suite backdrops and Formal or Business Casual wardrobe.
Pick the winner with your friends
Select your favourite headshots and share one link. Friends and colleagues vote from their browser without an account, and you see the results live.
Clear privacy rules
LinkPro never uses your selfies or headshots to train AI models and never sells them. Selfies are not kept on our servers after generation, and your headshots are stored on your device. With the Gemini app, whether your activity can be used for training depends on your Keep Activity setting.
Where Gemini may suit you better
- Free to start. Gemini’s free tier lets you experiment without paying.
- Bundled with Google. Google AI plans include other Google services, such as extra storage.
- Unlimited creative range. You can ask for any style or scene, not only professional portraits.
Which should you choose?
If you enjoy writing prompts and want maximum creative freedom, Gemini is a capable, free starting point. If you want a professional headshot quickly, without prompting, from selfies the app helps you take, LinkPro is designed for exactly that.
Try LinkPro for free: your first session gives you 3 preview headshots without an account.

Frequently asked questions
Can Gemini Nano Banana make a professional headshot?
Yes. You can upload a photo to the Gemini app and ask for a professional headshot; prompt guides usually recommend generating several versions and refining the prompt. Results depend on your photo and your prompt.
Is Gemini free for headshots?
Gemini has a free tier with usage limits, and paid Google AI plans with higher limits. Google publishes relative limits rather than a fixed number of images.
Does Google use my photos to train its AI?
According to Google's Gemini privacy hub, when Keep Activity is on, your activity can be used to improve Google services, including training generative AI models, and some of it may be reviewed by people. With Keep Activity off, chats are kept for 72 hours and not used for training. LinkPro never uses your selfies or headshots to train AI models.
