FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The replacement image doesn't fit its spot in Figma. What do I do?

Resize and reposition it by hand — that's the guide's fifth step. Drag the new image around until it sits right, then move on to exporting.

Do I need anything besides Figma for this walkthrough?

Yes, Adobe Express. The background removal happens there, not in Figma — you edit the photo in Adobe Express, download it, then swap it into your design.

Does the source photo have to come from LinkedIn?

No. LinkedIn is just the example. Any picture works: strip its background in Adobe Express, then click the old image in Figma and upload the new file from your computer.
