Shrinking, but visits without PFPMaker are up 22% on a year ago.

Over two years, visits went from 1.4M in October 2024 to a high of 1.4M in December 2024, fell to 681K in July 2026, and recovered to 744K in September 2026. Much of the year’s change is one site, PFPMaker, which is why I also look at the market without it.

Miles explains

I only call a market growing when visits and name searches agree. Here visits are up and name searches are down, so they don’t agree yet.

“ai headshot generator” is searched about 27,100 times a month worldwide, 67% of it in the US.

Google Trends barely registered “ai headshot generator” until March 2023; interest then climbed to its peak in July 2023. Americans make 67% of the searches but only 17.5% of the visits, because the big sites also draw heavily from India, Indonesia and Philippines.

Miles explains

Google Trends shows direction, not volume. Interest is lower than a year ago, and I only trust that when the visits move the same way.

Fewer visits than a year ago only because of PFPMaker, fewer people searching by name, and the next six months look flat.

The fastest growers over the year, HeadshotMaster and Aragon AI, grew fastest, mostly from a smaller base. The losers, led by Try It On AI, lost most of their search visits (-91%).

GoStudio.ai +49%

Biggest loss this month

HeadshotMaster -23%

Miles explains

Huge percentages like HeadshotMaster’s +990% usually mean one site won a big Google ranking from a small start. I watch whether it holds the next month.

I expect October 2026 to be about the same as September 2026, and the next six months to look flat.

The forecast carries the level of recent months forward, not the trend line, because that version missed least when tested on past months. October is usually a busier month than average for searches, but the calendar did not improve the forecast, so it is left out.

Expected in October 2026

Miles explains

Read the range, not the single number: tested on the last 6 months, my method landed inside its range 3 times.

The most visited is PFPMaker, with 395,084 visits a month, 53% of all visits.

PFPMaker and Aragon AI together hold 73% of all visits. Below the top five the market is long and thin: the other 16 sites share 6.7%.

Miles explains

PFPMaker alone has 53% of all visits. That’s a big lead, but one Google update can close it fast.
