What is the best size for a LinkedIn profile photo?

LinkedIn recommends 400x400 minimum and accepts up to 7680x4320 (8MB max). 800x800 is the sweet spot - sharp on retina displays without a huge file. That is what this tool outputs.

Can I get a professional background without a studio?

Yes - the AI removes your background and replaces it with clean white (or any solid color on our background remover page). Recruiters see a studio-quality headshot.

Why does my LinkedIn photo look blurry?

Usually the upload was below 400x400 or heavily compressed. Upload a sharp original here and download at 800x800 - it will stay crisp.

Is my photo uploaded to your server?

No - cropping and the AI both run in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device.

A studio-quality LinkedIn headshot, free

Profiles with professional photos get significantly more views and connection accepts. You don't need a photographer: a phone photo in good light, plus AI background cleanup and the right crop, looks studio-made.

How to take the source photo

Face a window (soft natural light), plain background behind you
Camera at eye level, head and shoulders in frame
Slight smile, eyes to the lens, professional attire
Have someone else take it — arm's-length selfies distort features

Then here

Click the AI background button for a clean white backdrop
Drag and zoom until your face fills the oval — LinkedIn crops to a circle, so keep your head centered
Download at 800×800 — sharp on every screen, well under LinkedIn's 8MB cap

Private by design

Unlike headshot apps that upload your face to a server (and often train AI on it), everything here runs locally in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored.
