AI LinkedIn Headshot: Create a Professional Profile Photo from Selfies

A clear LinkedIn profile photo builds trust. Here is a practical workflow to create a professional headshot with AI from photos you already have.

Step 1 — Gather strong selfies

Pick 2–5 recent photos where your face is sharp, eyes are open, and lighting is even. Avoid sunglasses, heavy shadows, and busy backgrounds when possible.

Step 2 — Upload to an AI headshot generator

On the AI headshot generator homepage, drag in your JPG or PNG files (max 10MB each). Sign in so credits can be applied to each generation.

Step 3 — Generate and compare

Review the gallery for likeness, expression, and framing. LinkedIn favors a head-and- shoulders crop with a calm, approachable expression. Generate a few variations if your credit balance allows.

Step 4 — Download and upload to LinkedIn

Download the strongest result, then upload it in LinkedIn profile settings. Keep a square crop in mind; LinkedIn displays a circular crop on many surfaces.
