FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Why is a LinkedIn photo higher risk than a random selfie?

Because it is explicitly attached to your professional identity, often high quality, and often reused across multiple public pages that make scraping and matching easier.

Can I still use the protected file on LinkedIn?

That is the intended use case. The goal is a profile image that still looks normal to people while being harder for AI systems to match reliably.

Should I keep the old headshot online after I replace it?

If you are trying to reduce exposure, leaving older public headshots online weakens the value of the switch. The cleaner approach is to replace the image where you control it.
