How to do the TikTok Canva AI headshot hack

The girlbosses have spoken.

Have you ever taken a gorgeous and stunning photo that could double as a LinkedIn headshot, but your shirt isn't networking appropriate? The corporate babes on TikTok have found a free solution, Canva's new AI powered "Magic Edit."

In one video that's garnered over 1 million views, TikTok user @amy_king_v generates a "professional, chic, white blouse." In another with over 8 million views @jinedalessandra requests a "professional shirt."

The Magic Edit tool allows you to brush over a section of a photo and describe exactly what you want it to be turned into. For the headshot hack, you simply describe the professional-looking shirt you want to replace the one you're wearing and like magic, the AI generates it.

The tool is still in beta and the results can be a little wonky, but you can change up the description of the shirt as many times as it takes to produce a a result that's suitable for LinkedIn.
