Why FedShot exists
Many federal employees are using headshots that are years out of date. Studio sessions are expensive, schedules are tight, and asking a coworker to take a portrait is awkward. But a current photo still matters for LinkedIn, agency bios, speaker pages, and professional profiles.
FedShot helps federal employees and contractors create a professional headshot from a photo on their phone. Pick your attire, choose between neutral studio, home-office, or American flag backgrounds, and add a lapel pin if you want one.
Built by FedTools, the team behind the GS Pay Calculator and other free tools used by federal employees nationwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about FedShot
Upload any clear, front-facing photo where your face is visible. Natural lighting works best. Avoid sunglasses, heavy filters, or photos where your face is partially obscured. Selfies, ID photos, and casual snapshots all work well.
FedShot works best for LinkedIn, agency directories, speaker bios, internal profiles, and official communications where your office allows submitted photos. It is not a replacement for agency-captured PIV enrollment photos, and USAJobs resumes should not include photos.
