The background is replaced with a soft gradient and the photo is cropped to a square around you.

03

Pick a style and download

Try other colours or gradients, then download in full resolution.

Where a clean profile photo helps

LinkedIn and CVs

A plain, professional background keeps the focus on you.

Team pages

Give everyone on the team the same background for a consistent “About us” page.

Slack, Teams and Zoom

A clear avatar is easier to recognise at small sizes.

Social profiles

Stand out with your favourite colour or a gradient that matches your brand.

Frequently asked questions

What size should a profile picture be?

Most platforms show profile photos as squares or circles, and a square of at least 400 × 400 px works well almost everywhere. HD downloads keep your photo’s full resolution.

Will a round crop cut off my head?

The default margin keeps space around you so a circular crop won’t cut your hair or chin. Increase the margin in the Size tab if needed.

Does it work with selfies?

Yes. For the best edges, avoid backlight and make sure your hair doesn’t blend into the background.
