Built for the places Grad School Application photos actually get used.
Each look in this pack is tuned for the surfaces below.
Use case
Lab and department pages
Labs list members with a photo and research interests. Prospective students and collaborators use that page to find the right person.
Use case
Conference posters
Some presenters add a small headshot to the poster so attendees can find them during the session. A clean crop works at print size.
Use case
Program applications
Some MBA and professional programs ask for a photo in the application portal. The Application Editorial look is a formal, neutral choice.
Use case
Academic profiles
A personal academic site and LinkedIn travel with you to the job market. The Scholar Window portrait suits a CV page.
Why it works
Use the Grad School Application pack and start with the Research Track look for lab and department pages.
Upload a selfie in what you would wear to present a poster or interview with a program.
Generate the MBA, Law, or Med Track look if you are applying to a professional program instead of research.

Frequently asked about grad school headshots
Do grad school applications require a photo?
Many do not. Some MBA and international programs ask for one, so follow each program's instructions and never send one where it is not requested.
Which look fits a PhD student?
The Research Track or Seminar Room look. Both feel academic without the formality of a business school portrait.
Can I use this for a university ID or visa application?
No. University IDs and visa photos have strict rules and need an unedited photo. Use these for profiles and applications that allow a portrait.
