Head and shoulders work best, facing the camera, in good light.
Free tool
Profile picture maker, from any photo.
Turn a selfie or a snapshot into a clean profile picture for LinkedIn, Slack, X, YouTube or Discord. AI takes out the background, puts you in the middle of a gradient or a colour, and saves it round or square. It runs in this tab, so your photo is never uploaded. No sign-up, no watermark.

Questions
Good to know.
Which size should I use?
1024 x 1024 is sharp everywhere and every site shrinks it to fit. 400 x 400 is the smallest that still looks crisp on most profiles.
Round or square?
Most sites show profile pictures in a circle and crop a square one themselves, so either works. The round PNG has see-through corners for places that show the picture as it is, such as a slide or an email signature.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The AI model that finds the subject, ormbg (Apache 2.0 licence), is served from this site and runs in this tab, 44 to 88 MB the first time. The photo never leaves your computer.
How is the photo framed?
The page finds you in the photo and centres you in a square, with a little room above your head. If the framing is off, crop the photo closer to your head and shoulders first with the image cropper.
Can I use my own background?
Yes. Pick "Your own picture" under Background and choose one; it fills the square behind you.
