A white background is a common choice for portrait and headshot photography, for good reason. It’s neutral, distraction-free, and keeps the focus on the person in front of the camera. Whether you're working with a full studio setup or taking a quick photo on location, a white backdrop helps create a clean, polished look that works across all platforms.

Shooting headshots at scale? The remove.bg desktop app and API make it easy to replace backdrops in bulk. If you are using the desktop app, just drag and drop your images, and let the tool swap every background for a clean white one in seconds. With the API you can create an automatic workflow where images are edited and automatically uploaded to your website, for example.
A white background portrait is incredibly versatile and suits a wide range of personal and professional needs. You can use it for your LinkedIn profile, résumé, ID or passport photos, and even for professional portfolios, corporate websites, business cards, or press features. Its clean, neutral look ensures your photo looks polished and appropriate wherever it's needed.
