Better face focus

Best practices

Tips for better headshot background blur

A clear subject and the right crop usually create the most natural background blur.

Use a front-facing headshot with clear eyes and face details.

Avoid very low-resolution images or heavy shadows across the face.

Keep enough space around the head so the final crop does not feel tight.

Review hair edges, glasses, jewelry, and collars before downloading.
