Frequently asked questions
Will a black background look too dark or harsh?
No. The lighting is balanced so your face stays well lit, and you can choose a softer charcoal or gradient tone if pure black feels too heavy.
Is a black background appropriate for LinkedIn?
It can work well, especially in creative fields. For conservative industries, a lighter or navy background may feel more traditional.
Will the edges around my hair look cut out?
No. The background is generated together with you in a single image, so hair and shoulders blend naturally.
Do the backgrounds in my selfies matter?
No. Upload selfies with good lighting and a clear view of your face. The backgrounds in your uploads do not carry over.
