Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good LinkedIn profile picture?

A strong LinkedIn photo features a clean background, professional attire, good lighting, and a confident but approachable expression. Your face should take up about 60% of the frame.

Do I need to hire a professional photographer?

Not necessarily. Modern smartphone cameras can take excellent headshots. Stand facing a window for natural light, use a plain wall as a backdrop, and let our AI compare your options to pick the best one.

Can I use my dating app photo on LinkedIn?

Usually no. Dating photos prioritize casual warmth and lifestyle context, while LinkedIn requires professional competence and trustworthiness. It is always best to use separate, context-specific photos.
