Why your LinkedIn background matters

Recruiters and clients form an impression before they read a word of your profile. A photo shot against a cluttered kitchen, a car seat, or an old holiday backdrop reads as unpolished, even when the photo itself is fine. bgrm removes whatever's behind you and lets you drop in a plain colour or keep it transparent, turning an ordinary phone selfie into a headshot that looks intentional.

How it works

1Add your headshot

Drop a selfie or portrait: any angle, any lighting.

2Background removed

The model separates you from whatever's behind you in a couple of seconds.

3Pick a clean background

Solid navy, grey, white, or your own brand colour, or keep it transparent.

4Download & upload

Save the PNG and set it as your LinkedIn photo.

Frequently asked questions

What background colour should I use for LinkedIn?

A plain, muted colour (navy, grey, or soft blue) generally reads as most professional; avoid pure white unless it matches your personal brand.

Will it work on a selfie, not just a professional headshot?

Yes: it works on any portrait photo, phone selfies included.

Does it keep hair detail clean?

The edge-softness slider and restore/erase brush let you fix flyaway hair the model may have cut too aggressively.

Do I need to crop the photo first?

No: upload the full photo; LinkedIn crops it to its own circle after you upload.

Is my photo kept or used for anything?

No: it's processed and returned; nothing is stored. See our Privacy Policy.

Is this free to use?

Yes, completely free, no signup.
