Professional Headshot Maker Online

Upload a portrait, let on-device AI cut you out and swap in a corporate studio backdrop, then retouch skin naturally. Export a square crop sized for LinkedIn, your resume, a team page or an email signature — all in your browser, no signup.

For more control over the cut-out itself, use the Background Remover; for an official passport or visa headshot, the ID Photo tool locks in the exact required size.

Professional Headshot Maker – AI LinkedIn & Resume Photo Background

A great professional headshot gets you more views on LinkedIn, passes the recruiter scan on your resume, and keeps your company team page looking consistent. PixlReady’s headshot maker turns a normal phone portrait into a studio-style corporate photo in three steps: it uses on-device AI (MediaPipe Selfie Segmenter) to cut you out from whatever background you were standing in front of, composites you onto a clean corporate backdrop, and applies a light, natural skin retouch so you look like your best self — not plastic.

Pick a studio background that matches the job: dark gray or navy for a formal executive look, warm white for a softer creative-industry look, or pure white for resumes, visa-style and press photos. The edge is feathered by one pixel and colour spill (the blue/green fringe a cut-out leaves on hair and shoulders) is suppressed automatically. Then choose your export size — LinkedIn 400×400, a 2×2 inch resume photo at 600×600 pixels for 300 dpi, a 300×300 team-page tile, or a tiny 100×100 email signature — and download a PNG or JPG.

Everything runs in your browser: the model and WASM runtime are first-party static files downloaded once and cached, your photo is never uploaded, there is no signup and no watermark on the result.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best background for a professional headshot?

For a corporate or LinkedIn profile picture, a plain, non-reflective solid backdrop reads most professional. Dark gray and navy look executive and formal, warm white feels approachable and creative, and pure white is the safe default for resumes, press and ID-style photos. Avoid busy rooms, patterned walls and bright windows behind you.

What size should a LinkedIn profile picture be?

LinkedIn displays your profile picture as a square. The maker’s LinkedIn preset exports 400×400 pixels, which is the standard upload size; the email-signature preset gives a small 100×100 tile and the team-page preset 300×300.

How big is a 2×2 inch resume photo?

At 300 dpi — the print resolution recruiters and printers expect — a 2 by 2 inch photo is 600×600 pixels. Choose the Resume preset to export exactly that square, ready to attach to an application or print.

Does the retouch make my face look airbrushed?

No. The retouch engine uses conservative defaults (light smoothing, gentle de-yellow, oil-shine control and a small shadow lift) and never warps your facial geometry. Every slider starts at a natural value — drag them to 0 if you prefer an untouched look.

Are my photos uploaded to make the headshot?

No. The AI model, background swap, despill and retouch all run locally in your browser; the photo never leaves your device. There is no account to create and no watermark on the downloaded image.
