A developer headshot for GitHub, talks and job applications

Recruiters open your GitHub profile before they open your resume, and the picture is the first thing they see. A friendly face in good light beats a cartoon fox or a default circle. Send a selfie, name the vibe you want, and the bot returns a tidy portrait.

Friendly and competent

A developer portrait does best when it looks like the person who answers your pull request kindly. Skip the stiff suit unless you work in a bank. Describe your usual clothes, a plain wall or a shelf, and a small smile. The bot cleans light and background and leaves your features. Zoom into glasses frames and beard edges, which are the usual places where small changes appear.

Speaker kits

Conference pages ask for a headshot, a short bio and sometimes a banner. One caption can produce all three crops in a single sitting. Keep the file names tidy, for example name-square and name-wide. Some events publish photos with strict resolution notes, so check the organizer's guide before you send. Keep your original selfie too, since a few hiring portals ask for unedited photos.

Tips

Decide first if you want a hoodie or a shirt, and say it.
Ask for a blurred desk setup if you like a workspace feeling.
Crop a tight square for avatars and keep a wide one for slides.
Use the same picture on GitHub, LinkedIn and your site.

Questions and answers

Can I keep my headphones in the picture?

Yes, name them in the caption and check the shape at full size.

Is a cartoon version possible?

Yes. Use the cartoon avatar page for a drawn look.

What does it cost?

2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 49 Telegram Stars and credits do not expire.

Does the bot work in English?

Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch. You can switch it any time with /lang.

What the bot does not do

Works from one photo. Likeness depends on the photo you send, and some styles change features more than others.
Does not make video or animation.
Does not output a transparent PNG.
Does not retouch passport or ID photos.
