What makes a profile photo work

A LinkedIn photo has one job: look like the person who turns up to the meeting. That means a recent, clear likeness, a calm background and light that flatters without disguising. SceneSteller starts from your own selfie and restyles it with portrait looks from the commercial and editorial part of the style library, so the result is polished and still recognisably you.

Generate a few variations, pick the one that looks most like you on a good day, and crop it to a square in the free image resizer; LinkedIn shows profile photos as a circle cut from a square. Keep the original photo too, so you can make a fresh version when your hair, glasses or role change.

From a selfie to a styled portrait, in the product

Upload a photo in Studio, choose a style and generate. Try another look from the same photo whenever you like.

Why profile photos go stale

Sound familiar?

  • Still using a cropped photo from a wedding?

    Start from a clear selfie and get a portrait made for the purpose.

  • No time to book a photographer?

    Restyle a photo you already have, from your desk.

  • Worried an AI portrait will not look like you?

    Your selfie is the reference, so the face stays yours. Keep only the variations that pass the mirror test.

  • Wrong crop for the profile circle?

    Crop to a centred square in the free image resizer before you upload.

Three steps to a new profile photo

  1. Step 1: Upload a clear selfie

    Face the camera in soft, even light. Glasses and your usual hair help the result look like you.

    One photo is enough

  2. Step 2: Choose a portrait look

    Pick a corporate, editorial or cinematic portrait style from the library.

  3. Step 3: Generate and crop

    Generate a few variations, keep the most natural one and crop it to a square for LinkedIn.

LinkedIn photo questions

What kind of selfie works best?

A recent photo facing the camera, in soft even light, with your face unobstructed. Wear what you would wear to work; the style changes the light and setting, not who you are.

Will the photo still look like me?

Your selfie is the reference for each image, so your likeness carries through. Portrait and corporate styles stay closest to the original. Pick the variation that looks most like you before you use it on your profile.

What size does LinkedIn need?

A square image; LinkedIn crops it to a circle. Use the custom size in the free image resizer to crop your favourite variation to a square, for example 400×400 pixels.

Is an AI-styled photo acceptable on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn asks members to use a photo that represents them. A restyled photo of your own face can do that; avoid looks that change your features, and use the variation that someone who knows you would recognise.

How much does it cost?

Images run on credits. The default model needs no plan; 4K images need the Creator plan. A standard 2K image on the default model costs 12 credits and a 4K image costs 18. Credit packs run from Spark ($4.99 for 40 credits) to Nova ($74.99 for 750 credits).

Can I use the photo commercially?

Under the Terms of Service you may use generated images in personal or commercial projects, subject to applicable law and third-party rights. You need the rights to any photo you upload.

Making the video too?

Script to Video turns a script into scenes with the same character in every one, adds narration and composes the video for you to export and upload.
