While there are different \u201crules\u201d for different platforms (e.g. it\u2019s socially acceptable to have a picture of you and your significant other as your Facebook profile pic, whereas <a href=\"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/social-media\/this-linkedin-graphic-shows-you-where-your-profile-is-lacking\/\">that wouldn\u2019t fly on LinkedIn<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Many avid social media users are working in an effort to brand themselves (blue check, please!) So, it\u2019s important to put your best foot &#8211; or in this case, face &#8211; forward.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pfpmaker.com\/?ref=producthunt\">Profile Pic Maker<\/a> is here to help you brand. And, before you judge the name as something that sounds akin to the days of MySpace, it\u2019s simplicity (in name and execution) is actually quite cool.<\/p>\n<p>It lets you upload any photo of you (or your pet) and creates profile pics that are useful across Facebook, Google, TikTok, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and so on. You can then start editing the photo to your liking.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/social-media-profile-picture-upgrade.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1181\" height=\"849\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/social-media-profile-picture-upgrade.png 1181w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/social-media-profile-picture-upgrade-300x216.png 300w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/social-media-profile-picture-upgrade-1024x736.png 1024w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/social-media-profile-picture-upgrade-768x552.png 768w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/social-media-profile-picture-upgrade-600x431.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1181px) 100vw, 1181px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The tool boasts a photo background remover, creative photo filters, and the likelihood of getting more likes on your photo. With the photo background remover, you can remove the background from your photo completely automatically and precisely.<\/p>\n<p>With creative photo filters, apply creative studio-grade filters to create aesthetically pleasing profile pics. And with all of this, your photos will gain more interest.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works: You upload a photo, the background is automatically removed, then you review dozens of professionally generated profile pics (including backgrounds with solid colors and gradients). Best of all, it\u2019s free.<\/p>\n<p>I tried it &#8211; it took all of 15 seconds and I was enamored with the outcome. The options were astoundingly cool and I\u2019ll likely be spending the rest of my day deciding what picture to use. It does have a few kinks (my face was distorted on a few options) but there\u2019s plenty of perfect ones to pick from.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16699 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker1-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-16700 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Profile Pic Maker test images by author Taylor Leddin\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker2-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker2-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ProfilePicMaker2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>According to PFP\u2019s website, \u201cProfiles with a profile photo receive 14 times more views than those without a profile photo. Moreover, with a professional profile photo you are 36 times more likely to receive a message.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve yet to upload these to my personal pages, but I can attest to the above statement and the overall concept being useful. For my dog\u2019s Instagram page (yes, I\u2019m one of those people), I cropped just his face from a photo and put it against a colorful background to make it look more \u201cprofessional\u201d and the page has gotten a lot more interaction since then.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
