Portreya is a web-based AI headshot generator for people who need professional portraits without booking a photographer. It is designed for job seekers, professionals, founders, freelancers, speakers, creators, and anyone updating their personal brand.
After choosing a portrait pack, the user uploads one clear, front-facing selfie. Additional source photos are optional. Portreya then creates polished portraits with controlled lighting, framing, backgrounds, poses, clothing, and expressions. Results usually arrive in about 60 seconds, and paid photos can be refined by describing what should change.
Portreya offers purpose-built packs for LinkedIn profiles, CVs, dating profiles, personal social accounts, studio portraits, industry-specific roles, and outfit exploration. This makes it possible to create different types of portraits without forcing one generic headshot to serve every purpose.
The service runs in a modern web browser and requires no software installation. It works across desktop and mobile browsers. Portreya does not currently offer a public API, browser extension, or community forum, and it does not require third-party integrations.
Accounts are free to create, but photo generation is paid. Portreya uses one-time packs rather than subscriptions. Packs start at $4.99, and customers can top up whenever they need more photos. Paid photos are theirs to keep and use on LinkedIn, resumes, websites, speaker profiles, social accounts, and other professional or personal profiles.
Portreya was founded in Switzerland in 2026 with a simple goal: make a current, professional portrait easier to obtain while preserving the person’s recognizable appearance.
