GitLab avatars work at 400×400 or larger (800×800–1024×1024 preferred), 1:1, with a lean file (often under ~200 KB). They appear as circles on merge requests and pipelines.
Center the face; no edge logos. HeadshotCam outputs a GitLab-ready square — Lead Dev, Clean & Modern, or CTO — from one selfie.

FAQs
What size should my GitLab photo be?
GitLab expects 400×400 or larger at 1:1 (square), under 200 kb preferred for avatars, in JPG or PNG. Practical upload: 800×800 to 1024×1024.
How do I keep my face inside the GitLab circle crop?
Center for the merge-request and pipeline avatar circle. No edge logos — GitLab clips them hard at small sizes.
Will it pass on GitLab?
Yes. The output is a realistic likeness of you, not a cartoon or filter. Pick a Foundations or Corporate style and the photo reads as a normal studio shoot.
Can I keep my face exactly the same?
Yes — your face, hair, and skin tone stay locked. Only clothing, lighting, and background change.
How fast is generation?
Most headshots are ready in 5 to 15 seconds. You can iterate, then "Edit with words" for tweaks, all in under a minute.
