What is LinkedIn Profile Ring Generator?
The LinkedIn Profile Ring Generator draws a colored band and curved caption around a circular photo. You upload a JPEG, PNG, or WebP, type any banner wording, and set ring color, text color, and stroke width. The 800 by 800 canvas updates as those controls change. The download is a PNG with a circular crop you can upload as a profile photo.
How does LinkedIn Profile Ring Generator work?
This tool composes the badge in the browser Canvas 2D API. The photo is scaled with a cover fit and clipped to the inner circle. The ring is a stroked arc whose width you control. Caption glyphs are placed along the lower band by converting each character width into an angle around the circle. Output is a PNG data URL at 800 by 800 pixels.
Key Features
- 800 by 800 canvas export with a circular crop
- Arc caption placed along the lower ring band
- Ring width slider from 40 to 96 pixels
- Separate hex pickers for band color and caption color
- JPEG, PNG, and WebP upload with a 5 MB file cap
- Cover-fit photo scale so faces stay centered in the inner circle
Common Use Cases
Making a joke Open to Work photo
Type a parody caption such as Open to snacks, pick a ring color, and download a circular PNG.
Building a hiring badge for a profile photo
Set the caption to Hiring and use a blue band so recruiters see the status on the avatar.
Testing caption length before upload
Watch the live preview as you add words so long phrases still sit inside the ring.
Matching ring color to a personal brand
Enter a hex value from your palette so the band matches a site or resume header.
Preparing an 800 pixel source for LinkedIn
Export 800 by 800 so the site has a sharp source when it downscales the avatar.
How to Use This Tool
Pick a starting ring
Use one of the four presets if you want a green, orange, red, or blue band with sample wording.
Upload a photo
Drop a JPEG, PNG, or WebP. The tool clips it to the inner circle. A gray placeholder shows if you skip this step.
Edit the caption and colors
Type up to 48 characters. Change ring color, text color, and ring width. The preview canvas redraws on each change.
Download the PNG
Save profile-ring.png, then upload that file as your LinkedIn profile photo in LinkedIn settings.
Pro Tips
- 1
Keep captions under about 18 characters if you want large, readable letters on the band.
- 2
Center the face in the source image. Cover-fit cropping cuts equal overflow on the long axis.
- 3
Use white or near-white caption color on dark bands so the letters stay readable at thumbnail size.
- 4
LinkedIn displays avatars as circles. Square corners on the PNG are transparent and will not show.
- 5
This generator is not an official LinkedIn feature. LinkedIn can still apply its own Open to Work overlay on top.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a custom Open to Work photo on LinkedIn?
Create the circular PNG here, then replace your profile photo in LinkedIn. LinkedIn does not let you edit the official Open to Work frame text.
What size should a LinkedIn profile photo be?
LinkedIn recommends at least 400 by 400 pixels. This tool exports 800 by 800 so the upload stays sharp after compression.
Can I change the Open to Work ring text?
Not on LinkedIn's official frame. This page draws your own wording on a separate photo you upload yourself.
How do I make a circular profile picture with text around it?
Upload a photo, type the banner text, set ring width, and download the PNG. The letters follow the lower band of the circle.
