An avatar from your photo
A selfie turned into a decent profile picture. Even light, a calm background, the same face.

When it helps
LinkedIn and your CV
A recruiter sees the picture before the name. A holiday selfie and a photograph with even light are two different first impressions.
A company page
A team where everyone sent a photo from a different place at a different hour looks accidental. A shared, calm background fixes that.
Business cards and email signatures
A small picture needs a clear face and a clean background, because at that size everything else turns into a smudge.
Profiles where a selfie feels wrong
A professional account, a listings site, an expert profile. The photograph should be recognisable without being private.
What changes and what stays
The starting point is your face, and your face is what has to stay recognisable. Everything around it changes.
- 01
Evening out the light
Shadows from an overhead lamp and window light on one side of the face are balanced. This is the change that makes the biggest difference.
- 02
Clearing the background
The kitchen, the car or the net curtain behind you gives way to a calm, uniform background.
- 03
Cropping for a portrait
The frame is set the way a portrait is set: head and shoulders, the face a little above centre.
- 04
Keeping your features
The shape of the nose, mouth and eyes stays as it is. A profile picture nobody recognises fails at its one job.
What to expect
A profile picture has one job: whoever sees it should recognise you when you finally meet. So your features are left alone. Nothing is made younger, no nose is improved, and you do not come back as somebody who does not exist. What changes is the light, the background and the framing, which in a selfie are usually whatever happened to be there.
The rest comes down to what you upload. A face turned towards the lens with the eyes visible is plenty. Sunglasses and a cap peak take away exactly the part of the picture the job is about, so it is quicker to take one new selfie than to rescue an old one.
Window light is kinder than a ceiling lamp, which drops shadows under the eyes and the nose. An evening photo taken under a bulb still works, it just starts further back.
A group photo gives very little to go on: the face fills a fraction of the frame and there is no detail left to rebuild from. And if the photo itself is fine and the only problem is the clutter behind you, you do not need an avatar. Background removal is simpler and cheaper.
Upload a selfie and see the result
Ideally one where the face is turned towards the camera and well lit.
