    Headshot Dimensions Made Simple

    Start with one large photo and save the right size for each site.

    Example

    Event selfie, LinkedIn headshot

    A selfie taken at a busy event, with a blazer and gray studio picked.

    Result: A clean LinkedIn headshot. Same face and glasses.

    Original selfie: a man with glasses at a busy eventBefore
    AI example made from that selfie: the same man in a charcoal blazer on a gray backgroundExample

    A good photo can still look bad if the size is wrong.

    Different sites crop differently, so size and framing matter.

    Start with one large headshot, then save the right version for each use.

    Common headshot dimensions

    Most sites show a square or a slightly tall photo.

    If you keep the face centered, one large photo can cover most uses.

    • LinkedIn: a square photo, at least 400 x 400 pixels (LinkedIn's help page)
    • Website team cards: often square or slightly tall
    • Resume: a small square or round crop

    Keep extra space around the head

    Tight crops can break on different sites.

    Leave a little space above the head and around the shoulders.

    Save more than one version

    Keep one full-size photo and save smaller copies for each site.

    This keeps the photo sharp and avoids blurry uploads.

    Headshotsly photos download in 4K. The gallery's Crop button also saves a square for LinkedIn (1200 x 1200) or Slack (1024 x 1024).
