Common Issues
Background is distracting or unprofessional
Why: Office clutter, home backgrounds, or busy scenes undermine professionalism
Soft grey or muted blue backgrounds work best for professional headshots
Lighting is uneven — one side of face is dark
Why: Single light source or window creates split lighting on the face
Even lighting looks more approachable for professional profiles
Selfie angle makes face look distorted
Why: Close-range selfies create wide-angle distortion, enlarging nose and forehead
AI can simulate the look of a photo taken from 6 feet away — much more flattering
Skin looks shiny or has visible blemishes
Why: Phone cameras capture every pore and oil reflection in detail
'Naturally' is key — you want retouched, not plastic-looking skin
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a good online course instructor photo?
Professional lighting, clean background, approachable expression, and sharp image quality. Students need to see a credible expert. EditThisPic achieves all four from a basic phone photo.
Do instructor photos actually affect enrollment?
Yes. Studies show courses with professional instructor photos get 25% more enrollments. Your photo is often the first thing students evaluate.
Should I use the same photo everywhere?
Yes, for brand recognition. Use the same enhanced headshot across Udemy, Skillshare, LinkedIn, and your personal website. Consistency builds a recognizable personal brand.
Can I use this for course thumbnail backgrounds?
Yes. Beyond headshots, you can enhance any photo for course thumbnails, promotional materials, and social media marketing.
What background works best?
Clean, neutral backgrounds (grey, white, or soft gradient) are most professional. If you want context, a tidy bookshelf or office setting works but should be uncluttered.
Is this free?
Yes — 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For multiple platforms, plans start at $3.99/month.
