A LinkedIn roast is a few sentences of jokes about your profile, mostly the headline and the buzzwords around it. To roast your LinkedIn in Toybox AI, upload one screenshot to Roast Me!. Nothing asks for your profile link, and the roast is written only from what the image shows. Some LinkedIn roasters are free with no account and also hand back a grade or suggested fixes, while Roast Me! writes only the jokes. It needs a Toybox account and currently costs 5 credits a roast.
How to roast your LinkedIn profile in Roast Me!
Toybox is a web app, so these steps work in a phone's browser as well as on a computer.
- Open your LinkedIn profile and screenshot the top of it. Make sure the whole headline, the line under your name, is showing, and crop out anything you wouldn't want on a shared page.
- Open Roast Me! and sign in. If you signed up with an email address, verify it first.
- Under Photo to roast, upload the screenshot as a JPG or PNG.
- Under What is it?, choose LinkedIn. The form starts on Anything, so change it.
- Under How harsh?, choose Playful, Spicy, Savage or Nuclear. Spicy is already selected.
- Optional: open Add details and type up to 300 characters under "What should it roast you about?".
- Press Roast me. The roast appears next to your screenshot, usually in about 10 seconds, and 5 credits come off your balance. A failed roast gives the credits back automatically.
What to get in the screenshot
Roast Me! reads one image per roast and nothing outside it, so the framing decides what the jokes can be about. The top of a profile is what LinkedIn calls the introduction section. It includes your photo, background photo, name, headline, current position and location, so one screenshot of it is the place to start.
- Get the whole headline in. It is the line under your name. If the screenshot cuts it off, the roast only has the half it can read.
- Keep the background photo. That is LinkedIn's name for the banner behind your profile picture, and a roast can only joke about a banner it can see.
- Add the first lines of About if they fit. They give the roast full sentences you wrote, which a headline alone doesn't.
- Stay on one screen at normal zoom. Small text in a long full-page capture is harder to read, and a roast can miss it.
- Treat About and Experience as their own screenshots. Each one is a separate roast at 5 credits. The cheaper route is to quote their worst lines in "Add details", covered next.
Add details for the parts that didn't fit
Use "Add details" for what the screenshot leaves out: the worst line of your About section, a job title from Experience, or a habit your posts give away. The box takes 300 characters. Swap these made-up examples for true facts about you:
I changed my headline four times this year. My About section says "results-driven" twice. I post a story about lessons from my morning run every week and I have never finished a 5K.I call myself a serial entrepreneur and I have started one company, a candle shop that closed after eight months. My profile still lists me as its Founder and CEO with no end date.I have been open to work for six months and I endorse strangers for skills I can't spell. My banner is a stock photo of a mountain I have never climbed.The roast can repeat what you type, so leave out anything you wouldn't say in front of the people who will read it.
Which harshness level suits a LinkedIn profile roast
Pick Playful or Spicy if anyone from work will see the roast. Each level is listed here with the line the form shows under it.
| Who will read the roast | Level to pick |
|---|---|
| A team chat, or a post coworkers will see | Playful ("Friendly teasing") |
| Friends and peers who know you | Spicy ("Sharp but fun"), the one already selected |
| Only you, or a group chat that asked for the hard version | Savage ("No mercy") |
| Adults who asked for it, outside of work | Nuclear ("Anything goes. Adults only") |
Nuclear is adult humor with swearing, and it drops the LinkedIn angle. At Nuclear the roast goes after whatever is in the screenshot and your details. The LinkedIn setting shapes only the other three levels.
Read every roast before you send it anywhere, Playful included. A line that's funny to you can read differently to a manager or a client. To compare two levels on the same screenshot, run it twice, which costs 10 credits.
What the roast doesn't give you
Roast Me! writes jokes and stops there. Know these limits before you spend 5 credits:
- No score or grade. There is no number, letter or checklist.
- No rewrite or tips. It won't suggest a new headline, fix your About section or give career advice, and you can't reply to a roast to ask for one.
- It can misread. A blurry or tiny screenshot gives it less to work with, and a roast can get a detail wrong. Crop tighter and run it again as a new roast.
For feedback you can act on, the tools in the next section are built for it.
LinkedIn roast AI tools and what each gives back
LinkedIn roast tools differ in what you hand over and what comes back. As of November 2026:
| Tool | What you give it | What you get | Cost and account |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roast Me! in Toybox AI | One screenshot | A short comedy roast at one of four harshness levels, with a share link | Currently 5 credits a roast, account required |
| Taplio LinkedIn Profile Roaster | Your profile URL | A roast at a level from 1 to 10, plus tips for the headline, summary and work experience | Free |
| HookTide Roast My LinkedIn | Your profile URL | A critique of the headline and About section, a letter grade based on how many clichés it finds, and a rewrite | Free, with 5 uses |
| JobMentis LinkedIn Profile Roaster | A screenshot of your profile header | A graded profile with comments in red ink and suggestions | Free, no account |
| RoastMyResume LinkedIn Roast | Pasted profile text or a PDF export | A grade, a "cringe level", a verdict on the headline, notes on single lines and suggested fixes | Free, no account |
Pick by what you want back:
- A grade and fixes with no account. Use JobMentis with a header screenshot, or RoastMyResume with pasted text or a PDF.
- A link instead of a screenshot. Taplio and HookTide both start from your profile URL.
- New headline options from a chat assistant. The roast prompt library has a LinkedIn headline and About prompt that asks for three new headlines after the jokes.
- Only the jokes, on a page you can send to someone. Roast Me! does that and nothing more.
Before you share the roast
Share or save a roast before you leave the page, because the roast text isn't kept otherwise. Your screenshot stays in Recent for 24 hours, but the roast doesn't come back with it.
Press "Share" and Toybox copies a public link. The page behind it shows your screenshot exactly as you uploaded it, the labels LinkedIn and your harshness level, and the roast. Anyone with the link can open it, and you can stop sharing or delete the item from your gallery later.
"Save to gallery", in the menu next to Share, keeps the roast without a link. Either one uses a gallery slot, and the Free plan currently has 5.
Since the shared page shows the screenshot as it is, fix the image before you upload it:
- Cover your name and employer if the roast is going somewhere public. Cropping can't remove them, because they sit right next to the headline, so paint over them in your phone's screenshot editor.
- Crop out other people. On a computer, a profile page can also show a "People you may know" section, and message windows open in the lower-right corner. Crop to your own profile.
- Ask before you roast someone else's profile. Toybox's Terms of Service prohibit harassment and targeted content against real individuals, so roast a coworker's profile only when they have said yes. Better still, send them the tool and let them upload their own screenshot.
If the roast went after your photo
Your profile photo is in the screenshot, so a joke can land on it. If the joke was about a face that is tiny or cut off, the LinkedIn headshot size guide covers how to crop for the small round frame LinkedIn uses.
For a new photo, Portrait Pro turns one selfie into a headshot and has a LinkedIn look among its presets. It currently costs 85 credits in HD, so the 20 sign-up credits don't cover it. The LinkedIn headshot prompts give wording by industry, and the article on AI headshots for LinkedIn and work covers when one is fine to use. Current credit and plan prices are on the pricing page.
