From selfie to LinkedIn photo

A clean, even background makes a profile photo look professional. This page cuts you out, places you on a soft neutral colour and sets a square crop. Try other colours from your own photo or a subtle gradient.

Because it runs on your device, nobody else sees your photo: useful for CV and ID-style pictures.

How to do it

  1. Upload a photo where you look goodFront or three-quarter view, with your face well lit.
  2. Automatic plain backgroundThis page applies a square format and a light grey background; switch to any colour.
  3. DownloadAs JPG, ready for WhatsApp, Instagram, LinkedIn or Gmail.

Tips

  • Colours from your clothes or «From your photo» look very natural.
  • Leave room above your head so the circle doesn't crop you.
  • Use the same photo across your profiles so people recognise you.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What background colour is best for LinkedIn?

Soft neutral tones (light grey, off-white, light blue) work best. Pick one in the Background tab.

Can I use it for a CV photo?

Yes. Download the square version as JPG for CVs and job portals.

Is my selfie uploaded?

No. The AI runs in your browser and the photo stays on your device.

What resolution will I get?

The same as your photo, up to 16 megapixels on a computer and 12 on a phone (larger photos are scaled down so they fit in the browser's memory). On a computer you get the full resolution by default; on a phone the default is “For web” (2048 px, a much lighter file), and one tap on the size next to the download button switches to “Full”.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, on recent iPhones and Android phones. Phones without WebGPU use a lighter fast mode that works best with people.

Can I use the results commercially?

Of course — the images are yours. Use them in your store, ads or designs.
