Prepare a professional LinkedIn headshot with a centered square crop. The tool targets 400×400 pixels and a JPG of up to 500 KB, and the photo is processed in your browser.
Your image is processed only in this browser. It is never uploaded to a server, stored or shared, and no account is needed. Check the destination’s current requirements before uploading.
The image is centered and the output dimensions adapt to the file-size limit. Keep the main subject near the center for a clear crop. File sizes use decimal units: 1 KB = 1,000 bytes and 1 MB = 1,000 KB. Your image is processed on your device.
Choose a clear portrait that looks like you and suits your professional profile. Review the result before uploading it to LinkedIn.
A headshot needs tight framing, and LinkedIn shows the picture in a circle that hides the corners. The tool centers the photo and crops it to a 400×400 square, so start with your face in the middle of the original, with your shoulders partly visible.
If your source photo is a full-length or wide shot, the square crop will remove much of it. Use a closer image for the best result.
Camera photos are often several megabytes, and a file that uploads quickly is easier to manage on a slow connection. The tool compresses the JPG to stay under 500 KB and changes the dimensions only when compression is not enough. File sizes are decimal, so 1 KB is 1,000 bytes.
Use the sharpest version of your headshot you have. Compression reduces file size but cannot make a soft photo look crisp.
A professional headshot does not need heavy editing. Keep the colors natural and the background simple, and avoid filters that change the look of your face. If a recruiter or client compares your photo with a video call, the image should look like you on a normal day, not like a studio portrait from years ago.
A plain, uncluttered background and even light usually look more professional than a busy room. Existing backgrounds stay in the output, and transparent areas become white, so a cut-out headshot still sits cleanly on a white page.
Check the preview before you download, and make sure your face is not cut off at the top of the circle.
Check the square at the size LinkedIn shows in search results and comments, and confirm the face is still easy to recognize. A photo taken against a plain wall or in soft daylight is the most forgiving choice when you crop to a square.
Choose a headshot where your face is clear and centered. Select Prepare, check the 400×400 preview and download the JPG.
This tool's LinkedIn headshot preset is a 400×400 pixel square, saved as a JPG under 500 KB. Check the platform's current rules before you upload, since they can change.
Frame your headshot so your face sits near the center with some space above. Check the preview, since the circle hides the corners.
The preset is the same 400×400 square. This page uses headshot wording for professional portraits, and the LinkedIn profile photo page covers everyday profile pictures.
