"Launched my coaching practice and needed a headshot that felt warm and approachable but still professional. Turned my kitchen selfie into something that looks like I hired a brand photographer. Clients say I look exactly like my photo in our calls." @CoachingWithPurpose

How to AI Photo Editor for Coach LinkedIn Headshots
-
Choose your most authentic photo
Pick a photo where your genuine energy comes through. A real smile and engaged expression matter more than perfect lighting. Outdoor photos or well-lit indoor shots work great. Wear something that reflects your coaching brand - approachable but professional.
Background replacement: 25-30 seconds. Simple enhancement: 15-20 seconds.Photos where you're genuinely laughing or expressing passion project the warmth clients seek in a coach. -
Describe your inspiring look
Type your instruction: 'replace background with bright airy studio, warm natural light, inspiring atmosphere' or 'soft outdoor setting with golden hour glow, approachable and professional.' Be specific about the positive, energetic vibe you want to convey.
Include 'warm,' 'bright,' or 'inspiring' in your prompt for coach-appropriate results that radiate positivity. -
Review for authenticity and energy
Verify the background feels inspiring without being distracting. Check that lighting conveys warmth and approachability. Most importantly - do you still look like yourself? Clients will meet you on video calls.

Refine and download
If edges need cleanup or the warmth needs adjustment, use markers on specific areas and regenerate. Download your coach-ready headshot. Consider creating versions for your website hero, LinkedIn, and course platform.
Test your headshot as both a circle crop (LinkedIn, Zoom) and rectangle (website hero) to ensure both look inviting.

Real Examples
Kitchen selfie to brand-worthy portrait
Quick selfie before a coaching call. Great energy and real smile, but the kitchen cabinets in the background won't work for your website.
replace the kitchen background with bright airy studio space, soft natural light streaming in, warm and inspiring atmosphere
Conference networking photo transformed
Cropped from a networking event. Your energy is great but the hotel ballroom carpet and strangers don't convey the transformation you offer.
replace the conference background with soft outdoor setting, golden hour sunlight, warm bokeh, approachable and professional
When Things Go Wrong
Background looks too corporate or cold
Why: Generic 'office' or 'professional' prompts may generate sterile corporate environments.
replace background with BRIGHT WARM space, NATURAL LIGHT, INSPIRING and APPROACHABLE atmosphere, not corporate
Include 'warm,' 'bright,' 'inspiring,' or 'approachable' to avoid cold corporate vibes.
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 warm transition
Photos where your hair contrasts with the original background (dark hair, light wall) work best.
Lost my authentic expression or look too processed
Why: Heavy enhancement can remove the genuine warmth that makes clients trust you.
enhance lighting warmly, keep ALL my natural features and expression, authentic not airbrushed
For coaches, authenticity builds trust - don't over-smooth or artificially enhance.
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 feels harsh instead of warm
Why: Original photo lighting conflicts with the warm, inspiring atmosphere you requested.
replace background with bright space, MATCH LIGHTING warmly to my face, soft natural light from same direction
Photos with soft, even lighting blend best with warm inspirational 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 bright airy studio' or 'blur background with warm 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 coaches on LinkedIn?
For most coaches: bright airy studio with natural light, soft outdoor settings with golden hour warmth, or clean modern spaces with warm undertones. Life and wellness coaches do well with nature-inspired backgrounds. Executive coaches can use bright modern offices. Avoid dark, corporate, or cold backgrounds - warmth and approachability matter in coaching.
Will clients 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. Warm lighting enhancement makes you look like yourself on a great day. Avoid heavy retouching - clients need to recognize you and trust that you're authentic.
Is there a free coach headshot tool that doesn't require signup?
Yes. EditThisPic is free to try with no account required. Upload your photo, describe the warm inspiring look you want, and download your coach-ready headshot. No watermarks on free edits.
What's the best photo to start with for a coaching headshot?
Look for: genuine smile or engaged expression, face clearly visible, looking at camera, natural lighting (outdoor or near windows). Your authentic energy matters most - a photo where you're genuinely happy or passionate will convert better than a stiff posed shot. Recent photos work best since clients will meet you on video.
Can I use this for my coaching website, course platform, and social media?
Absolutely. The same headshot works across LinkedIn, your coaching website, course platforms like Kajabi or Teachable, podcast profiles, and social media. Download at full resolution. Check both circle crops (LinkedIn, Zoom) and rectangle crops (website hero) look inviting.
