Common Challenges
Studio Booking Costs
Corporate headshot sessions typically run $150 to $600 per person at an on-site day rate, or $200 to $500 per person at a studio. For a 50-employee company, that is $7,500 to $30,000 per refresh cycle. Growing companies that add 10 to 20 hires per quarter also face ongoing catch-up shoots for every new face, which turns into a recurring annual expense of $15,000 or more.
Inconsistent Backgrounds Across Team
Sarah was photographed against the office gray wall in 2022. Marcus joined in 2023 and took his headshot at a coworking space in another city. Priya works fully remote and sent a selfie from her kitchen. The team page becomes a visual reminder that the company never got around to standardizing, and that inconsistency reads as "startup still figuring things out" rather than "established team."
Outdated Photos
Employees who joined five years ago still have their 2019 headshot on the team page, from when they had different hair, different glasses, and a different role. Rebooking the entire team for a fresh shoot is expensive and logistically fraught, especially for distributed companies where half the staff would need to fly somewhere. Most teams simply let the staleness accumulate.
Remote Team Challenges
Fully distributed companies (now roughly a third of mid-size tech teams) cannot gather in one location for a single photographer's day. Each person photographs themselves: some with a DSLR and a tripod, some with a phone leaned against a stack of books, and every photo shows a different background, different lighting temperature, and different framing. The result is a team page that looks like a crowd-sourced experiment.
Why Use Backgroundless
Consistent Team Page Backgrounds
Unify the team page with one shared background color, gradient, or branded plate across every person. Whether the original photos were shot in an office, a home office, or a coffee shop, the processed output reads as one cohesive session. Corporate directories typically render at 600 by 900 portrait at 72 DPI, and consistent backgrounds hold up cleanly at that size.
LinkedIn-Ready Photos
LinkedIn profile photos display at 400 by 400 minimum in 1:1 square crop. The platform also shows the same image in the "People you may know" sidebar at smaller sizes, so clean edges matter more than soft-lit studio subtlety. Export at 400 by 400 on a professional solid-color background for the profile photo slot, and at 1584 by 396 with a cohesive palette for the profile header.
Instant Background Swap
Replace any headshot background in roughly 3 to 5 seconds per person. A 50-person team refresh, including verifying each cutout, typically takes under an hour of hands-on time. Compare that to the 2 to 4 weeks required to schedule, shoot, and deliver a traditional corporate headshot session with every team member in every timezone.
Full Privacy, Photos Stay Local
Processing runs entirely in your browser, which means employee photos never touch an external server. That matters for companies with SOC 2 Type II commitments, GDPR obligations, or HR data-handling rules that restrict where employee imagery can be stored. It also matters for individual employees who prefer not to have their likeness ingested into an external vendor's dataset.
How It Works
Upload Headshot Photos
Upload individual portraits or batch-upload the entire team. Phone selfies and DSLR shots are both supported. For LinkedIn profile photos, the display size is 400 by 400 minimum at 1:1 square. For corporate directories, 600 by 900 portrait at 72 DPI is the most common spec. Upload at higher resolution than the final display size to give the AI more edge detail to preserve.
AI Removes the Background
The AI precisely separates each person from their background in 2 to 4 seconds per image. Hair (curly, straight, braided, fine, thick) extracts cleanly by default. For complex cases, Magic Click lets you refine around glasses, earrings, headphones, or flyaway strands. Most ATS and directory systems prefer PNG over JPG for composites that layer a headshot onto a company logo backdrop.
Apply Consistent Background
Pick one background and apply it to every team member. Common choices: a warm gray (#F5F5F5) for traditional corporate looks, a brand color for startup team pages, or a subtle gradient matching your primary brand colors. Export at full resolution per platform: 400 by 400 for LinkedIn, 600 by 900 for corporate directories, larger for printed conference bios and press releases.
