Simple but powerful. Love this kind of tools. Wish you all the best here Thierry!

Consistent team headshots are one of those things every company needs and nobody wants to organise. Does the brand style transfer work if your team has wildly different lighting in their original photos?

This solves a surprisingly annoying problem. When we were growing our engineering team fast, keeping consistent team photos was one of those tasks nobody owned but everybody noticed when it looked messy. The fact that you built this specifically for HR and design teams shows you understand who actually deals with this pain day-to-day. Nice execution.

12 years ago, during a summer break from college, I worked at a Dutch design agency called Today. For two weeks straight I sat in Photoshop, cutting out 100+ Shutterstock photos with the pen tool for a brand concept that combined two images at a time. Simple shapes were fine. Hair was the patience test. When Photoshop later shipped the smart brush and refine-selection with onion mask, I thought it was magic.Fast forward to today and that whole problem is solved a hundred times over. Figma has background removal built in. There are countless one-click tools. So why build another one?Because at Online Payment Platform, where I work with now, the team is growing fast and every new hire needs a branded headshot. Same backdrop for everyone, color-balanced, exported in the right formats, named carefully so HR can find them later. Lily from HR was doing all of that in Figma, at €80/month per seat. Other tools existed, but none of them matched her workflow end-to-end. So I built one that did.What Aaavatar does:- Drop one or more colleagues into the app- Backgrounds removed automatically- Refine colors and restore missing pieces in one click- Everyone aligned at roughly the same height- Exported to every format you needPricing:- Free: 3 cutouts on the main AI model + 3 on a lighter model- Pro: unlimitedIt's MacOS only for now. Would love to hear what you think, especially if you've ever wrangled team photos yourself.
