The short answer
To change a headshot background, upload a well-lit photo to rmvbg's profile picture maker. It cuts you out automatically; choose a plain colour or a soft gradient, crop square or round, and download. White, light grey and soft blue are safe choices for LinkedIn, CVs and company pages; use your brand colour for a team page. It runs in your browser, so your photo isn't uploaded.

Questions and answers
What colour background is best for a headshot?
Plain white, light grey or a soft blue suit most professional profiles. Pick a colour that contrasts with your hair and clothes so you stand out.
Does a headshot have to have a white background?
No. White is common for official photos, but LinkedIn and company pages often use grey, blue or a brand colour.
Can I use this for a passport photo?
Use rmvbg's passport photo tool instead — it uses official sizes and a white background. Check your passport office's rules first.
How do I make my whole team's headshots match?
Use the same background colour and framing for every photo. Each person can do theirs in the browser in under a minute.
