How does LensCherry create AI photos for LinkedIn?

You upload a small set of reference photos and LensCherry creates your model from them. From there you can generate polished LinkedIn options that look like you, with cleaner lighting, stronger framing, and backgrounds that fit professional profiles.

What size should my LinkedIn profile photo be?

Use a square image at 400 by 400 pixels or larger. A higher-resolution square file gives you more room to test crops without losing sharpness. LinkedIn also accepts JPG or PNG files up to 8MB.

How tight should the crop be for LinkedIn?

Aim for your face and upper shoulders to fill about 60 to 70 percent of the frame. LinkedIn displays profile photos as a circle, so leave a little space around your hair and shoulders instead of cropping right to the edges.

What kind of LinkedIn photo works best for recruiters?

The photo that works best is usually clean, current, and easy to read at a small size. Good light, steady eye contact, a simple background, and clothing that matches your role tend to outperform dramatic edits or busy environments.

Can I make different LinkedIn looks from one model?

Yes. Once LensCherry has created your model from reference photos, you can generate several LinkedIn directions from the same base, like formal executive, approachable startup, consultant, recruiter, or speaker-bio looks.

Should I use the same photo everywhere online?

A consistent face across LinkedIn, your website, speaker pages, and email signature usually helps. You can still keep slight variations for different contexts, but the crop, lighting, and overall feel should look connected.

LinkedIn photo size and crop guidance

A strong AI photo still fails if the crop is off. LinkedIn turns your square upload into a circle, so the safest move is to compose for the circle first and the full square second.

Upload specs

Use a square photo at 400 x 400 px or larger.
JPG or PNG both work.
Keep the file at 8MB or less.

Best crop

Keep your face and upper shoulders at roughly 60 to 70% of the frame.
Leave extra room around hair and shoulders so the circular crop does not clip them.
Keep your eyes slightly above center for a more natural profile thumbnail.

Before you upload

Zoom out one step farther than you think you need.
Check the thumbnail view in search, comments, and connection requests.
Avoid busy backgrounds that disappear into noise at small sizes.

Quick crop checklist

Use this before you upload the final version.

Start from a square photo that is comfortably wider than the final circle. Most LinkedIn mistakes happen because the image is already cropped too tight.

If hair, shoulders, glasses, or the edge of a blazer are important to the look, leave room for them. The circular crop can cut more aggressively than expected on smaller screens.

If you want the full spec breakdown, read LinkedIn photo size, crop, and resize.

How LensCherry fits the LinkedIn workflow

The goal is not just a flattering portrait. It is a profile photo that looks like you, fits your role, and survives LinkedIn's small-circle display.

Start with a small set of clear reference photos so LensCherry can create a model that stays close to how you actually look.
