Tips for a good resume photo
- Wear formal or smart-casual clothing in a solid colour.
- Face the camera straight on, with your head and shoulders in frame.
- Use soft, even lighting and avoid strong shadows on your face.
- Keep a calm, confident expression — a slight smile works well.
Building an online profile too? Make a square LinkedIn profile photo from the same headshot.
Uploading the photo to a portal?
If a job portal caps the file size, compress the finished photo to an exact KB target. Your image stays in your browser.
Decide the destination before choosing the crop
This page uses the India passport-style 35×45 mm canvas as a practical CV and bio-data preset; no recruitment authority or employer is cited as making that size universal. If a job portal publishes pixels, a square profile image, an aspect ratio or a KB ceiling, use those fields instead. Keep your original headshot so you can make each required crop without stretching an already-exported file.
Check the downloaded image itself before attaching it: confirm the face is not distorted, the background replacement has clean edges, and the encoded dimensions match the application. The tool prepares the file in your browser; it does not decide whether a photograph belongs on a particular resume or whether an employer will accept one.
Your photo is processed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
What size photo should I use on a resume?
Use the dimensions requested by the employer or application. This preset produces a 35×45mm (3.5×4.5cm) portrait for a CV or bio-data that asks for a passport-style photograph; it is not a universal resume rule.
Should I smile in a resume photo?
Aim for a friendly but professional, mostly neutral expression — a gentle, closed-mouth smile is fine. Dress formally, face the camera straight on, and use even lighting with no harsh shadows.
What background should a resume photo have?
A plain, light background reads as professional — usually white or light grey. This tool sets a clean white background automatically, so a busy room behind you won't show.
Do resumes in the US, UK or Canada need a photo?
Follow the employer's instructions and the hiring convention for the role and location. If no photograph is requested, do not add one merely because this tool is available; prepare a file only when the application or CV format calls for it.
Is the resume photo maker free and private?
Yes. It is completely free, with no watermark and no sign-up. Your photo is processed entirely in your browser and is never uploaded to any server.
