Should you put a photo on your resume?
In the US: no. On LinkedIn: yes.US career advice is consistent: leave the photo off the resume itself. A photo can trip up applicant tracking systems, and many employers set photo resumes aside to avoid bias claims. Recruiters still want to see you, so they look you up on LinkedIn – and that photo is the one that counts.
Keep it off the resume when …
- you're applying in the US, UK or Canada – the norm is no photo
- the application goes through an online form or ATS
- the posting asks for an anonymized application
You still need a photo for …
- LinkedIn, Indeed and other profiles recruiters check before an interview
- your portfolio site, speaker bio or company team page
- applications in Denmark, Germany and much of Europe and Asia, where a CV photo is expected
- acting, modeling and on-camera roles, where the photo is part of the application
Where your resume photo actually goes
The resume stays photo-free. These are the places the same portrait does the work.
The first place a recruiter looks after reading your resume. Use the portrait that looks most like you today.
Job sites and profiles
Indeed, Glassdoor and niche job boards let you add a profile photo. Use the same portrait so you're recognizable everywhere.
Portfolio and personal site
Designers, developers, writers and consultants put a photo on the about page. Pick a background that fits your field.
Email signature
A small, friendly portrait next to your name makes follow-up emails feel personal.
Company bio and team page
Once you're hired, the same portrait goes on the team page, the intranet and press materials.
International CV
Applying in Europe or Asia? Add the portrait to the CV itself – <a href='%{cv_url}' class='underline'>see the CV photo norms by country</a>.
From selfie to interview-ready
Real selfies on the left, the AI portraits on the right. Same person – now ready for LinkedIn and the job sites.
The right format for a resume photo
- Square or 4:5. Head and shoulders, with your face filling most of the frame.
- At least 400 × 400 px. LinkedIn accepts up to 7680 × 4320 px; your portraits come in high resolution.
- JPG or PNG under 8 MB. That covers LinkedIn and every job site we know of.
- A photo from this year. The person at the interview should match the photo.
- The same photo everywhere. LinkedIn, job sites, email and your portfolio – one face, instantly recognized.
One portrait for LinkedIn, job sites and your portfolio
Recruiters who read your resume look you up on LinkedIn next. With the same photo in both places, they recognize you instantly. You get 54–150 portraits, so there's one for your email signature and company bio too.
