About this tool
Your LinkedIn profile photo appears in search results, beside every comment and on every message, so it shapes first impressions with recruiters and clients. A 400 by 400 pixel square, cropped to head and shoulders, keeps it sharp and recognisable in the small circle LinkedIn displays. The preset crops to that square, and since LinkedIn shows it as a small circle, a head-and-shoulders crop reads far better than a full-body photo.
How to use this tool
- Start with a good headshotUse a recent, well-lit photo with a plain background.
- Crop to head and shouldersZoom and drag until your face fills most of the circle.
- Update your profileDownload and upload it to LinkedIn.
A profile photo that looks professional
Your face should fill roughly 60% of the frame, with a plain or softly blurred background and even lighting. Recent, natural photos work better than heavily edited ones. If you use a photo frame or banner overlay, keep it thin so your face stays the focus.
Choosing a LinkedIn profile photo
A recent, well-lit photo with a plain or softly blurred background works best. Face the camera, keep your shoulders in the frame and dress the way you would for a meeting in your field. Recruiters and clients see the photo in search results before anything else on your profile.
Take the photo in daylight near a window rather than with a flash, and update it when your appearance changes noticeably.
