Choosing Backdrops

Select professional background styles that will apply to all headshots generated for your team.

Backdrops (also called styles or backgrounds) determine the setting behind each team member in their headshots. Choosing consistent backdrops ensures a cohesive, professional look across your organization.

How Backdrops Work

When you select backdrops for your team:

  • All team members will have headshots generated with these backgrounds
  • Multiple selections are recommended - each member gets headshots in each selected style
  • Consistency is maintained across your organization

  • Company website - Match your site's aesthetic
  • Marketing materials - Consider brand colors
  • Email signatures - Simple backgrounds are clearer at small sizes

Consistency Tips

Tip: If you want all headshots to look identical, select just one backdrop. For variety while maintaining professionalism, select 2-3 similar styles.

Changing Backdrops Later

You can update your team's backdrop selections at any time from your team dashboard:

  1. Go to your Team Dashboard
  2. Click Backdrops in the sidebar
  3. Add or remove backdrop selections
