Usually when you don't have a profile picture on LinkedIn, your main excuses will be: I don't have a professional picture that I like or feel comfortable with, I don't want to spend money paying a photographer or buying gears, I have no one to help me to take the picture or I don't have a nice and professional background nor any place to shoot. And overall, I don't see the benefit of taking a profile picture for my LinkedIn account: why should I have a profile picture? It doesn't say anything about my professional skills anyway!
And you end up using your company logo at best.. And trust me, I know, I've been there. But what if I was telling you that, first of all, you don't need any of this: all you need to make a great profile picture for your LinkedIn is five minutes of your time and a smartphone and I will show you how, and second of all, it is not true to believe that a good profile picture won't have any impact.
Nowadays personal branding is fundamental and the way you will market yourself will impact the recruiters and hiring managers perception during the negotiation process, which will help you to compete for better jobs and to get better salaries.
And you might believe that it's not for you anyway, because you are not on the market today so there is no need to upgrade your LinkedIn profile. But remember this, the job that you like today won't necessarily be the job that you will like tomorrow. And you never know when this opportunity will come and you don't want to start marketing yourself in the middle of a recruitment process.
Should you have questions about this tutorial on how to make a great LinkedIn picture profile at home with your smartphone only, leave me a comment ;). And for more LinkedIn tips, subscribe to the channel.

My reason is I'm not used to take picture of my self, I don't know how to make my smile look natural. I look dead inside or awkward.

[@IvanLeens]

It’s important to have a picture you like. Maybe ask someone to take pictures of you while you are doing and focusing on something else

[@procopio3274]

[@eleanorchan872]

Thank you very much. I have used my vlogging camera and tripod to take photos and have edited them in canva. My Linkedin profile picture is much more professional now and I am more confident in my job applications. I made front on and side profile pictures in case I need them in the future. Excellent video!

Great vid, but wait a minute, do you have a LinkedIn pfp?

[@IvanLeens]

Thanks ! Yes of course, you can find the link on my KZbin banner or just type my name

[@thegentlemahn]

Now Canva is the Great Grandma of them all RIP Canva 😂😂😂

[@IvanLeens]

Everything changes so fast with AI now 😅 but canva is still a great tool. What are you using?

[@thegentlemahn]

@@IvanLeensI use Adobe express, illustrator and Canva for petty things or elements

[@TFJ360]

Thank you.

[@IvanLeens]

You are welcome 😊

[@vasudilwal9356]

Forgot to mention that you gotta pay to use the background remover.

[@IvanLeens]

Hi, I actually didn’t. I mentioned it and I even shared another link (see description) to remove the background of any picture for free in case you have the free version of canva

[@vasudilwal9356]

lol when I saw the paid version, I googled and it took me to your link. Nonetheless, it works great! Thanks You. Although it did lessen the pixels but worked. Maybe I am doing it the wrong way. Iphone has a good feature for this but it blurs the boundaries unlike your solution but keeps the pixels same.

[@IvanLeens]

@@vasudilwal9356 yes you lose a bit in quality that's true. I am happy that it worked 👍

[@Gaura-Nutan12138]

Is it really that easy?? My pics always look like mugshots haha

[@vishalmane3139]

Canva degrades quality alot

[@IvanLeens]

You can download the picture as x1,5 or x2. Quality will be better
