A LinkedIn photo is often the first thing a recruiter or client sees. This set gives you six variations, from a formal navy suit on gray to a relaxed founder shot in an office, so you can pick the one that matches your role and industry.

Each prompt is a Reshot AI template you can open with a selfie, or copy into another tool. All six use the same opening line asking to keep your facial features and face shape, and all frame you centered in a vertical crop.

How these templates use your photo

Each template starts from a photo you pick. The prompt tells the model what to change, and your photo is the reference for everything else. Clear, front-facing photos with even light give the closest match.

1. CEO in a navy suit

A tailored navy suit with a crisp white shirt, upper-body and centered, on a clean gray office background with soft studio light. A subtle, confident expression and realistic skin texture keep it formal.
