Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change the background of a headshot?

Upload your portrait, let the AI cut you out, then choose a solid colour, keep it transparent, or add a new backdrop in the editor. The full-resolution headshot downloads instantly with no signup and no watermark.

What background colour is best for a LinkedIn headshot?

A soft neutral like light grey, white, or a muted blue reads as professional and keeps the focus on you. Set the colour in the editor and crop to a square for the cleanest profile avatar.
