If you're part of a team with specific quality standards, we strongly recommend not submitting an AI-edited or AI-generated photo. These images often don’t meet the natural and consistent look your team is aiming for.

If you’re unable to take a new photo, we suggest reaching out to your team’s headshot coordinator to confirm whether an AI-enhanced image is acceptable.

If you do have permission to submit an AI-edited photo, here are a few important things to keep in mind:

• Heavy AI edits (like artificial background replacements, extreme facial smoothing, or filters) can reduce the realism of your headshot and may lead to a lower-quality final result.
• Our editors work best with natural, unfiltered photos to ensure facial accuracy and consistency across all team members.

Please note: Some platforms, including LinkedIn, can detect AI-modified images and may reject or limit their use.
