AI ID photo prompts to make a clean headshot from a single selfie. Create resume, passport, and profile-style ID photos with no studio cost, then refine.

ID photo prompts are AI prompts for quickly making a tidy portrait for a resume or profile. Unlike a studio shoot, you start from a selfie and clean up the background, outfit, and hair for a neat ID photo. In Carat, you can generate with models like GPT Image 2, then refine with background removal and aspect-ratio changes.
An ID photo is about neatness and spec more than flair. Specifying a bright solid background, a front composition, a tidy outfit, and a natural skin tone gets you a result close to what you'd submit. Check the background color and outfit for your use (resume, passport, etc.) first. (Official submissions need a spec check.)
After generating, check that the face looks natural and the background is even, then refine in Carat with background removal and aspect-ratio changes to match the spec.
