Ready for immediate use

Download it, upload it, done.

Most headshots still need work before they go on your profile. Yours don't. Each one is finished, checked and sized before you download it.

A perfect 1:1 square for LinkedIn and Teams

LinkedIn and Microsoft Teams put a circular mask over your square photo, so its four corners are cut away completely. Your square is framed for that circle: face centered, with breathing room above your hair and around your shoulders so nothing gets awkwardly clipped. Upload it as it is.

A full-resolution portrait too

Every headshot also comes as a 3:4 portrait for your résumé, company website, speaker bio or print. Both versions download together, so you have the right shape for everywhere you need it.

Checked before you see it

Every headshot is compared with your own photos for likeness and inspected for polish. Anything that falls short is retaken automatically, then the set is graded so you know which one to use.

What makes a great LinkedIn photo

Six things every good one gets right.

Your photo is the first thing people see on your profile, in search results and next to every message and comment. These are the basics, and every Keeper headshot is built around them.

LinkedIn headshot FAQ

Questions, answered.

More in our main FAQ, or contact us.

What size is a LinkedIn profile photo?

LinkedIn profile photos are square and shown in a circle. LinkedIn recommends at least 400 × 400 pixels. Every Keeper headshot comes with a 1:1 square well above that size, with your face centered and room to spare inside the circle.

Do I need to crop my headshot before uploading it?

No. LinkedIn puts a circular mask over your square photo, so the four corners are cut away completely. Along with the full portrait, each headshot comes as a perfectly square 1:1 crop framed for that circle: your face centered, with breathing room around your hair and shoulders so nothing gets clipped. Upload it as it is.

Can I use the same photo in Microsoft Teams?

Yes. Teams also shows profile photos in a circle, so the same 1:1 square works there too. Many people use one headshot across LinkedIn, Teams, Outlook and Slack for a consistent look.

What should I wear for a LinkedIn headshot?

Dress one step above what you wear to work day to day. Solid, mid-tone colors photograph best. You choose the outfit for each look, from a navy suit to a smart-casual knit, so you can try a few and keep your favorite.

Is it OK to use an AI headshot on LinkedIn?

Yes, as long as it looks like you. That's why every headshot is checked against your own photos for likeness before you see it, and anything that drifts is retaken.

How long does it take?

Your photo check takes seconds, and a shoot usually develops in a few minutes. Your headshots are ready to download and upload as soon as they're done.
