What is the best alternative to the Canva AI headshot generator?
Cartario is by far the best AI headshot generator. It is much better than Canva’s generator tool.
Why is Cartario so much better than Canva at generating realistic AI headshots?
There are a few reasons for this. Canva is amazing overall, but this AI headshot feature is not their specialty.
- Canva uses Leonardo to generate their AI images. Leonardo has been getting worse at generating photorealistic AI images of people. This could be due to the fear of deepfakes or some legal issue in the future. Cartario uses the high-resolution flux 1.1 model to generate AI headshots. This model makes much higher quality and more realistic-looking images.

It is not even close. My AI headshot from Cartario looks 100% realistic. My Canva AI headshot looks like a painting.
- Canva only uses 1 real image to generate the AI image. Cartario uses 8-12 (or more) images and actually trains a custom AI model on your photos. Canva only takes about 30 seconds to generate the AI image. Cartario takes about 30 minutes to train a custom AI model.
This process uses a lot of computing power and is very expensive. This is why Canva won’t allow this kind of thing. People pay monthly for all of Canva’s editing tools. Canva can’t afford to let people train a custom model on themself. This costs several dollars per model of electricity costs. This is Cartario’s specialty.
- Canva just generates an image for you. Cartario gives you 100% control of the headshot prompt. You can generate any type of headshot you want with Cartario.
