The best AI LinkedIn photo generators

LinkedIn stores a 400 × 400 square and shows it at 60 pixels in a feed. Most of what these tools produce is judged at the size of a thumbnail, which changes what "best" means: the crop matters more than the resolution.

What actually decides it at 60 pixels

Three things, in this order. The crop — head and shoulders, eyes on the upper third, a little space above the head; anything wider disappears. The contrast between you and the backdrop — a dark suit on a dark grey wall becomes a silhouette. The expression — at 60 pixels a wide smile reads as a smudge and a neutral face reads as a face.

Every set we make includes a tight crop built for exactly this, plus the 16:9 frame for the banner behind it.

Questions people actually ask

What size should a LinkedIn profile photo be?
400 × 400 pixels or larger, square. LinkedIn resizes anything bigger and crops anything that is not square, usually badly.
Will LinkedIn ban an AI headshot?
No. There is no rule against a generated photograph. There is a rule against impersonation, which is a different thing.
Should I use LinkedIn's own filters?
No. They flatten the light the picture was made with, which is the part you paid for.
Do I need a different photo for the banner?
You need a wide one, 1584 × 396. A square portrait stretched to that shape crops your head off, which is why we include a frame composed wide.
