Minimalist Profile Picture

Minimalist is a plain-background headshot: a cream sweater, glasses, a soft gray-blue backdrop and nothing to distract from your face. It's the safest choice for a profile picture that's shown small.

What's in the Minimalist template

A man with short swept hair and black-rimmed glasses wears a cream crew-neck sweater, hands loosely clasped in front of him. The background is a smooth gray-blue studio backdrop with a soft light gradient. Even studio light from the front, framed from the waist up, with a calm, friendly expression.

Questions

Why use a plain background for a profile picture?

Profile pictures are often shown at 40 pixels or less. A plain background keeps your face readable at that size.

I don't wear glasses. Is there a similar template?

Smart Casual is a similar clean headshot without glasses, and Tech Startup CEO (Male) is another close crop.
