Resume AI Headshot FAQ

Should I include a photo on my resume?

It depends on the country, employer, and role. In some markets a photo is customary; in others, employers may prefer applications without one to reduce bias. Check the job posting and local norms before adding it.

What's the best style for a resume headshot?

We recommend ID Photo or Office styles for resumes — they're clean, professional, and similar to traditional CV photos. Pro 1 (Dark Bg) also works well for a more modern, corporate look.

What should I wear in my input photos for a resume headshot?

Wear professional or business-casual attire in your selfies. A collared shirt, blouse, or blazer works best. Avoid busy patterns and stick to solid, neutral colors.

How quickly can I get my resume headshot?

Your AI headshot is generated in about 30 seconds. You can download it immediately and add it to your resume or CV.

Can I use the same headshot for LinkedIn and my resume?

Yes! A consistent professional photo across LinkedIn and your resume creates a cohesive personal brand. You can use the same AI headshot on both.

What if I need a different look for a different job application?

With pay-per-headshot pricing, you can easily generate new headshots in different styles for different applications. Try Office for corporate roles or Bookshelf for creative positions.
