Most US firm websites use a 600×750 px (4:5 portrait) JPG for attorney bios. Some Big Law sites use larger 1200×1500 hero crops — start at 2400×3000 to cover both.

Wear a dark suit (navy, charcoal) with a solid tie or simple blouse. Avoid patterns. Background should be neutral — solid grey, off-white, or a subtle office bookshelf for partners.

For state bar profiles (e.g. State Bar of California, NY OCA), follow the JPG max 5 MB and 600×600 to 1000×1000 spec. The tool below resizes and compresses to fit.

FAQ

Color of background?

Neutral grey or white for associates. Subtle office for partners. Avoid pure black — it dates quickly.

Smile or serious?

Closed-mouth subtle smile. Full smile is too casual for litigation; serious face reads cold to prospective clients.

Same photo for LinkedIn and firm site?

Yes if cropped well. Square 400×400 for LinkedIn, 600×750 portrait for the firm bio.
