What makes a good profile picture

People see a profile picture small: in chat lists, comments or search results. So simple things matter: the face is well lit and fills most of the frame, the background is calm and the skin tone looks natural. Heavy filters hurt here. People should recognize you in real life, and for LinkedIn or a résumé over-editing looks unprofessional.

That's why this collection contains only subtle presets. “Natural Skin” evens out light and skin tone, and “Studio Clean” gives a neutral business look. “Timeless B&W” makes a restrained black and white portrait. After editing, you can crop the photo into a circle with transparent corners, and the avatar will look good on any background.
