A work photo is often the first thing a recruiter, a client or a new colleague sees. Check the light, the sharpness and the framing before you put it up. Nothing is uploaded.
What makes a headshot work
Even light on your face, from a window in front of you. No shadows under the eyes from a ceiling lamp.
Sharp eyes. People look at the eyes first; a soft photo reads as careless.
Head and shoulders, face about half of the frame, with room above your head for the round crop.
A calm background and clothes you would wear to work.
You, recently. The person in the photo is the one who joins the call.
Does the checker judge whether I look professional?
No. It reads the light, the sharpness, your face's size and the round crop: what a camera gets right or wrong. Clothes, background and expression are yours to judge; the checklist above helps.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. The check runs in your browser and the photo stays on your device.
What size should a headshot be?
Square, about 1,000 pixels or more a side, with your face filling about half of it. The check can save such a crop for you, made on your device.
