-
Choose your best photo
Pick a photo where you look genuinely confident and approachable. A slight smile works better than a serious expression for sales. Good lighting is key - natural light or well-lit office shots work well. Wear what you'd wear to an important client meeting.
Background replacement: 25-30 seconds. Simple blur: 15-20 seconds.Photos where you're genuinely smiling (not forced) build more trust with prospects. -
Describe your professional look
Type your instruction: 'replace background with modern office, warm professional lighting, confident and approachable' or 'bright neutral backdrop, energetic and trustworthy.' Be specific about the atmosphere you want to convey.
Include 'warm' or 'approachable' in your prompt - you want prospects to feel comfortable, not intimidated. -
Review for trustworthiness
Check that you look confident but not cocky. Verify the lighting is warm and inviting, not harsh. Make sure you still look like yourself - prospects will video call you eventually.

When Things Go Wrong
Background looks too corporate or stuffy
Why: Generic 'office' prompts may generate traditional corporate environments.
replace background with MODERN BRIGHT office, WARM lighting, ENERGETIC and approachable atmosphere
Include 'modern,' 'bright,' or 'energetic' to avoid old-school corporate vibes.
I look too serious or unapproachable
Why: The original photo expression may have been neutral, or lighting made you look stern.
enhance lighting to be WARM and flattering, brighten around eyes, maintain FRIENDLY expression
Warm lighting makes any expression look more approachable. If your photo is already serious, try a different source photo.
Hair edges have halos or look choppy
Why: Fine hair strands against the background are challenging for AI to separate cleanly.
Tap markers on the hair edges, then: blend hair edges naturally with background, smooth transition
Photos where your hair contrasts with the original background work best.
AI changed the wrong area
Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.
Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt
Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.
Lighting doesn't match between face and background
Why: Original photo lighting direction conflicts with the generated background lighting.
replace background with office, MATCH LIGHTING direction to my face, warm light from same angle
Photos with front-facing natural light blend best with new backgrounds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to mark the background before describing what I want?
No. Just describe what you want: 'replace background with modern office' or 'blur background with professional bokeh.' The AI understands these concepts. Only use markers when you need precision - like specifying which area needs edge cleanup after your first attempt.
What background works best for sales professionals on LinkedIn?
Modern, bright environments work best for sales. Think bright office with natural light, clean neutral backdrops, or contemporary workspaces. Avoid overly formal settings like dark wood offices - you want to look successful but approachable. Prospects should feel comfortable reaching out.
Should I smile in my sales headshot?
Yes, but genuinely. A real, warm smile builds trust and makes prospects more likely to accept connection requests. Avoid forced grins or overly serious expressions. You want to look like someone people would enjoy having a meeting with.
Is there a free sales headshot tool that doesn't require signup?
Yes. EditThisPic is free to try with no account required. Upload your photo, describe the professional look you want, and download your sales-ready headshot. No watermarks on free edits.
Will prospects recognize me on video calls after using this?
Yes, if you keep edits focused on background and lighting. Background replacement doesn't change your face. Subtle lighting enhancement makes you look like yourself on your best day. Avoid heavy filters - authenticity builds trust in sales.
What's the best photo to start with?
Look for: genuine smile, good eye contact with camera, decent lighting (natural light is best), wearing what you'd wear to an important client meeting. Photos from work events, conferences, or well-lit casual settings work well. Avoid party photos, even if the expression is good.
