Prompt
Use my uploaded photo as the only reference for my face. Create a square profile picture suitable for LinkedIn, X, Instagram and YouTube.

Preserve my recognisable face, natural skin tone, hairstyle and glasses (if any) as closely as the model permits. No beautifying, slimming or age change.

Framing: head and top of shoulders, face centred and filling about 60% of the frame, so it still works when cropped to a circle.
Background: soft, plain light warm grey with a gentle gradient.
Light: soft, even, flattering light from the front-left; natural catchlights in the eyes.
Clothing: keep my clothing from the photo.
Expression: relaxed, approachable, natural smile.
Format: square 1:1, sharp focus on the eyes.

Avoid: text, logos, busy backgrounds, heavy retouching, plastic skin.

Customise

For example: light warm grey.

For example: keep my clothing from the photo.

Good to know

  • Check the likeness carefully. Many platforms show profile photos as a small circle, so preview it before saving. Not for official ID.
  • Use reference photos you have the right to use; get consent from identifiable people.
