Many people may like their LinkedIn photo but may not like the background. It might not be the right color or vibe, but it can easily be changed.

Maybe there is a plant or open doorway or some other element that distracts. You can fix it!

You can use a few tools to change the background of a photo, even if you do not own Adobe Photoshop. Adobe does promote a free online background remover, though I have not tried it.

I used pfpmaker.com to change my background from gray to turquoise.

You can also remove a background from an image in Canva.com  

Also, you can try remove.bg or removal.ai or PhotoScissors, and many more. Just Google that!

Change the background to be your favorite color, brand color, or color that matches what you are wearing, or for any other reason.

If you are on Clubhouse, a pop of color truly helps differentiate you.

So what are you waiting for? Have fun and add a burst of color!
