Best practices for profile photos

For Guest Profiles: Use a Professional or Personal Headshot

  • Choose a clear, high-quality image where your face is visible and well-lit
  • Avoid cartoon avatars, AI-generated images, or text-only graphics
  • Look approachable and authentic, ideally smiling and facing the camera
  • Use a simple background so you’re the focus

For Show Profiles: Use Your Podcast Cover or Brand Image

  • Upload your official podcast cover art or a logo that represents your show
  • Make sure text is readable and the image is formatted correctly (square recommended)
  • Keep it aligned with your brand so it looks consistent across platforms

Bonus Tips:

  • Stick to one person per photo (no group shots)
  • Use the same image across platforms (LinkedIn, website, etc.) for recognizability
  • Crop it properly so there’s no blurry thumbnails or cut-off faces

A professional, friendly photo builds trust and helps you get more matches on Talks.co.
