A resume photo that actually helps you get the call back
In a lot of countries — Germany, France, Japan, most of Latin America — a resume without a photo gets tossed. The trouble is, the photo on file is usually a passport pic from 2019.
HeadshotCam turns one selfie into a polished resume photo that fits in the corner of your CV without screaming "I tried." Pick a style that matches the job — corporate for banking, creative for agency, clean and modern for everything in between.
It's faster than booking a studio and cheaper than the printer at the post office. Download the full-res file, drop it into your resume template, and you're done.

Советы
- 1 Crop tight — head and top of shoulders only. A resume photo should be roughly 35x45mm at print size.
- 2 Stick to neutral backgrounds. Anything busy clashes with the dense text of a CV.
- 3 If you're applying in Germany or France, lean conservative: suit, blazer, or button-up. Neutral expression beats a big smile.
- 4 Save as a high-quality JPEG — most resume templates render PNGs blurry.
- 5 Keep the same photo across LinkedIn, your resume, and email signatures. Consistency makes you memorable.
Частые вопросы
Should I even put a photo on my resume?
Depends where you're applying. In the US, UK, and Canada — usually no. In most of Europe, Asia, and Latin America — yes. Check the local norm before you submit.
What size should a resume photo be?
Around 35x45mm at print, or 200x250 pixels at screen size. We give you a high-res file so you can scale it down without losing quality.
Can I use the same photo for LinkedIn?
Yes, and you should. Recruiters cross-check resumes against LinkedIn — matching photos build trust.
Will this look obviously AI?
Not if you pick a realistic style. Stick with Foundations or Corporate styles for resumes — they look like a normal studio shoot.
