LinkedIn Avatar: How to Get a Professional Headshot from a Selfie

A professional LinkedIn headshot used to require a photographer, a studio, and $200+. Not anymore. AI can turn a selfie into a polished, LinkedIn-ready headshot in seconds — for free.

What the LinkedIn Avatar tool does

The LinkedIn Avatar tool on Crevisto transforms a casual selfie into a professional headshot. The result includes:

• Neutral background — clean, professional background
• Even lighting — studio-quality lighting on the face
• Professional attire — appropriate business clothing
• Sharp focus — clear, high-resolution result
• Confident expression — a polished, approachable look

How to generate a LinkedIn headshot

1. Visit the LinkedIn Avatar tool

2. Upload a selfie (front-facing, good lighting)

3. Click "Generate"

4. Download your professional headshot

Tips for best results

• Front-facing selfie — look directly at the camera
• Good lighting — natural light or well-lit room
• Neutral expression — a slight smile works best
• Clear face — no sunglasses, hats, or obstructions
• One person — the AI focuses on a single subject
