How to Create a Professional LinkedIn Profile Photo with Midjourney
Welcome to the Midjourney blog! Today, we're going to show you how to create a professional LinkedIn profile photo using Midjourney. With just two AI tools - Midjourney and Insight Face Swap - you'll be able to enhance your profile photo and make a lasting impression on potential connections. Let's get started!
Step 1: Gather a High-Quality Photo
The first step in creating a professional LinkedIn profile photo is to find a high-quality image of yourself. Make sure the photo is clear, with your face front and center. Avoid any distractions such as glasses or skewed angles. Think of it like a passport photo - professional and polished.
To give you an example, we'll use Matt Wolf, who taught us how to do this. You can find his LinkedIn profile and save his photo. Now, let's move on to the next step.
Step 2: Save the Face
Now that you have your photo, it's time to save the face using Midjourney. Open Midjourney and locate the "Save ID" section. Press enter and upload the photo you saved, naming it accordingly.
Step 3: Upload the Photo onto Discord
For this step, you'll need to upload the same photo directly onto Discord. Why Discord? There's a reason for this, so bear with us. Once the photo is uploaded, click on it and open it in your browser. In the address bar, copy the link.
Step 4: Use Insight Face Swap
Now, head over to Insight Face Swap and paste the link you copied from Discord. Next, add a prompt that matches your profession. For example, if you're a banking professional, your prompt could be "banking financial professional employee sitting in a modern corporate head office wearing a nice suit." Be sure to tailor the prompt to your specific profession.
Hit enter and let the AI work its magic. Insight Face Swap will generate several examples of professionals in your field, using Matt Wolf's face as a base. Choose the one that resembles you the most and upscale it.
Step 5: Face Swap with Midjourney
Now it's time to swap the face using Midjourney again. Go to the face swap bot located on the right side of the page and click on "Apps" and then "In Swapper." The bot will take the original image and perform a face swap based on the face you saved earlier.
Voila! You now have a professional LinkedIn profile photo that showcases your desired profession. Follow these steps and get creative with your own profile photo.
