Regenerate if it drifts. 4. **Crop for the circle** LinkedIn displays a circle: face centered, head and top of shoulders filling most of the frame. ## LinkedIn Photo Maker examples Real results from Made.

The line is recognizability: the photo must genuinely look like present-day you. Colleagues being surprised when they meet you means it went too far. **Will it change my face?** The edit targets clothing, background, and light; your facial features stay yours. Likeness can drift slightly in some generations — pick the output where you look like yourself on a good day, and regenerate any that don’t. **What should I wear in the source photo?** It matters less than you’d think — attire can be changed in the edit (“navy blazer over a white shirt”). What the edit cannot fix: heavy shadows across the face, motion blur, or a face angled away from the camera. **What background works best for LinkedIn?** Soft, unobtrusive, slightly blurred: neutral office tones, warm gray studio, or muted outdoor greenery. Avoid busy scenes and pure white passport-style backgrounds — they read as ID photos, not profiles. **What size does LinkedIn want?** Upload at 400×400 minimum; LinkedIn accepts up to 7680×4320 and displays a circle crop. Generate the photo here, then use Image Resizer if you want an exact square before uploading.
