How to make a LinkedIn headshot with this tool
- 01
Upload a photo from your phone or computer. A picture taken by a window, facing the light, works best.
- 02
The background is removed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
- 03
Pick a background. White, light grey or a soft gradient suits most industries; your brand colour works for founders and sales teams.
- 04
Use Zoom and the position sliders until your head and the top of your shoulders fill the circle.
- 05
Download the square PNG and upload it to your LinkedIn profile.
What makes a good LinkedIn profile picture
- A recent photo that looks like you do today, so people recognise you when you meet.
- Your face takes up most of the frame. LinkedIn shows the photo as a small circle in feeds and comments.
- Even, soft light on your face. Turn toward a window rather than away from it.
- Clothes you would wear to a meeting in your field.
- A plain background with nothing behind your head.
- Just you: no group photos, logos or text.
