The Recruiter Opens Your LinkedIn First

Before the phone screen, after your application, somebody looks you up. What they usually find on an engineer's profile: a gaming avatar, a photo cropped from a wedding, or the default gray silhouette. None of those cost you an offer by themselves — but a sharp, current headshot is the cheapest credibility you'll ever ship.

It matters more at the career steps engineers actually care about: switching to a senior role, submitting a conference talk, going independent, or launching a product where your face is on the landing page.

The Whole Pipeline

Three stages, no manual steps in between:

  1. 1Input: one clear selfie. The one from your desk just now is fine.
  2. 2Transform: pick background, attire, and expression presets. Casual shirt + gray background is the tech default.
  3. 3Output: a free preview in seconds. Ship it to LinkedIn, GitHub, and your CFP profile for $5.

Developer Headshot FAQ

Do software engineers need a suit in their headshot?

No — and in most of tech a suit actively reads wrong. The casual shirt preset is the right default for engineering roles; the blazer preset works if you're aiming at staff-plus, management, or fintech. Pick whichever matches the team you want to join.

Will a webcam or phone selfie work as input?

Yes. Any clear, front-facing photo with your face well visible is enough. The output gets studio lighting and a clean background regardless of what your home office looks like behind you.

Should my GitHub avatar match my LinkedIn photo?

When you're job hunting, yes. Recruiters and hiring managers open both, and a consistent face across GitHub, LinkedIn, and your personal site makes you easier to remember and verify. Keep the identicon for your meme account.

How is this different from avatar generator apps?

Avatar apps generate a stylized character loosely based on you. This produces a realistic photo that preserves your identity — the kind you can put on a conference speaker page or a visa application form without anyone blinking.

What's the actual cost and latency?
