How it works

Upload your photo

Drop a professional photo where you look confident and credible. Speaker photos appear on event websites, conference programs, and promotional materials - attendees decide whether to attend based on how speakers present. Avoid casual vacation shots.

Expect: Background replacement: 25-30 seconds. Enhancement for speaker authority: may need one refinement.
Describe speaker requirements

Type what speaking engagements need: 'replace background with professional backdrop, enhance for speaker credibility and authority' or 'professional keynote speaker appearance, expert and approachable.' Speakers need both credibility and connection. No marking required.

Tip: Combine authority with approachability: 'expert speaker credibility, authoritative yet engaging and relatable'

Copy one of these to get started:

Keynote speaker authority replace background with professional backdrop, enhance for keynote speaker credibility, authoritative expert appearance yet approachable

Review for speaker presence

Check that you look like someone worth booking and worth listening to. Background should be clean and professional. Expression should convey expertise without being intimidating. The photo should make people want to hear what you have to say.
Refine with markers if needed

If edges need cleanup or the authority level isn't quite right, tap markers on specific areas and regenerate. Most speaker photos work without markers - they're optional for precision.

Tip: Test how the photo looks at different sizes - it will appear as thumbnails and large featured images.

"Got asked to keynote a conference and they needed my photo for their website within 48 hours. My LinkedIn photo was okay but not speaker-level. Enhanced it to look more authoritative and credible. They featured it prominently on the conference page." @KeynoteSpeaker

If something looks off

Looks too corporate or intimidating for engaging speaker

Why: Too much authority without approachability makes speakers seem boring or unapproachable.

Try: balance expert authority with engaging approachable energy, credible speaker yet relatable and interesting

Try This →

Tip: Speakers sell tickets - you need authority to be worth listening to AND appeal to attract attendees.

Not authoritative enough for premium speaking engagement

Why: The photo doesn't project the expertise level high-profile engagements require.

Try: enhance for elevated speaker authority, thought leader credibility, keynote-level professional presence

Try This →

Tip: 'Keynote-level' and 'thought leader' push authority higher for premium engagements.

Background doesn't match event professionalism level

Why: Background choice doesn't align with the event's prestige or formality.

Try: replace with [specify: formal gray / professional neutral / modern minimalist] backdrop matching event level

Try This →

Tip: Match background formality to event prestige - TED talks need different tone than local workshops.

Lost the engaging energy from original photo

Why: Over-enhancement toward authority stripped away personality and connection.

Try: professional speaker authority while maintaining natural energy and personality, credible yet engaging

Try This →

Tip: Speakers need personality - don't let authority enhancements remove your unique presence.

AI changed the wrong area or something unexpected

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want changed, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Doesn't look different enough from regular headshot

Why: Speaker photos need elevated presence beyond typical professional headshots.

Try: enhance specifically for speaking engagement authority, elevated expert presence beyond standard headshot

Try This →

Tip: Speaking photos represent your ideas and expertise - they should project more than job-search headshots.

Quick answers

Do I need to mark areas before describing changes for speaker photos?

No! Just describe what speaking engagements need: 'replace background with professional backdrop' or 'enhance for speaker credibility and authority.' The AI understands speaker and event contexts without marking. Only use markers if edges need refinement.

How do I fix a photo for speaking engagement quickly?

Upload your most professional photo and describe what event organizers want: 'replace background with professional backdrop, keynote speaker authority, expert and engaging.' Most speaker photos are ready in 25-30 seconds. Balance credibility with approachability - you need both to attract attendees.

What makes a good speaking engagement photo?

Authoritative yet approachable. Clean professional background. Confident expression that conveys expertise without intimidation. Should make people think 'this person knows their topic AND will be interesting to listen to.' Balance credibility (worth your time) with engagement (worth attending).

How is a speaker photo different from a LinkedIn headshot?

Speaking photos need more authority and presence than typical professional headshots. They're marketing tools that influence event attendance. LinkedIn shows you're professionally competent. Speaker photos show you're an expert worth traveling to hear speak. Elevated credibility while maintaining personality.

Should keynote speakers look different from workshop facilitators?

Yes, slightly. Keynotes need more authority and thought-leader credibility - attendees expect elevated expertise. Workshop facilitators can be more approachable and accessible since interaction is key. Match your photo tone to your speaking role and audience expectations.
