I Needed a Professional Headshot for My LinkedIn but Instead Created a Cool Web Tool

I was deep in job hunting mode, updating my resume and preparing for interviews. Everyone kept saying, "Make sure your LinkedIn profile is polished—recruiters check it first!" So I logged into my long-neglected account to update it.

My profile was a disaster. Experience section? Outdated. Skills? Missing recent projects. But the worst offender was my profile photo - a blurry selfie taken in my car three years ago🤦‍♂️

Professional photographers wanted $200+ for a decent headshot, which seemed steep while job hunting on a budget. Plus, my track record with photos was abysmal - somehow I always looked like I was being held hostage or had just received terrible news.

As a developer who works with AI, I wondered if I could build something that turns terrible selfies (specifically mine) into professional-looking photos where I didn't look like a sleep-deprived troll.

That's how FacePic.app was born. Upload a few casual selfies, and our AI transforms them into polished, professional-looking headshots in about 10 minutes.

Turns out tons of job seekers struggle with the same issue - they know their LinkedIn photo matters but don't have good options for getting decent headshots on a budget.

Now instead of just fixing my own embarrassing profile, I've built a tool that helps fellow job hunters look their professional best without breaking the bank.
