Yes. The AI works from your photo and keeps face, facial features, hair, age and build. It only changes what you ask for: background, clothing, clothing colour, style and optionally expression. It does not add glasses, jewellery or headwear that were not in the original. You always see before and after before you decide.

- The style — professional, smart casual or casual

Frequently asked questions
Yes, as long as it is still you. Changing background, clothing and light is equivalent to visiting a photographer with a studio and a wardrobe. The line is your face: changing features, age or build is misleading — and that is exactly what Arbejd.com’s tool does not do. Read more in the guide "Photo on your CV".
Your photo is used to create one suggestion, shown to you as a preview. The suggestion only becomes your profile photo when you choose it. If you decline it, it is not used, and you can try again with different choices. Processing follows Arbejd.com’s privacy policy.
As often as you need. If you are not happy with the suggestion, click "Try again" and choose e.g. a different background, clothing or expression. The feature is free with no limit on attempts.
The AI model has a safety filter that can reject a photo or a combination of choices. This happens most often with photos without a clearly visible face, with several people, very low resolution or with certain expressions. Try another photo — front-facing, good light, only you — or choose "Do not change" for expression.
Yes. Once you approve the suggestion, it is your profile photo on Arbejd.com and is included in the CV you download from the CV builder. You can also save it and use it on LinkedIn — one consistent photo makes you recognisable to recruiters.
Yes. The feature lives in your profile on arbejd.com and works in the browser on both mobile and desktop. You can take a photo with your phone and enhance it right away.
No. The AI profile photo is free for everyone with an Arbejd.com profile, and the profile is free too. No watermarks, no payment to download the result and no limit on attempts.
