The answer depends on where you apply and your target industry:
Resume photos are still expected in many countries.
Photos are often discouraged due to bias and legal concerns.
Designers, marketers and actors may benefit from showcasing their look.
Safer to skip in the US/UK, but common in Germany, Spain, France, Argentina and more.
If you do include a photo, it must look clean, professional, and consistent with your brand. That’s exactly what the AI Photo Generator provides.
For LinkedIn, a clear headshot is always a good idea. Recruiters expect it.
A photo older than 2–3 years may feel misleading.
Light grey or white makes you stand out without distraction.
For a developer job, smart casual is fine; for consulting, opt for a suit jacket.
Resume, LinkedIn, personal site — consistency builds trust.
When applying in regions where photos aren’t standard, focus on content instead.
— Is my photo safe?
Yes. Your image is only used to generate the requested headshot and is not stored or reused by ResumeMaker.Online.
Processing is handled via Gemini API — according to their API data usage policy, content from API calls is not used for training their models.
We recommend reviewing their privacy terms if you’d like to know more.
— Can I generate multiple variations?
Absolutely — try again until you’re satisfied.
— Does it work for LinkedIn profile pictures too?
Yes. The output is perfect for both resumes and LinkedIn.
— What if I don’t want to add a photo?
That’s fine! The generator is optional. In some regions (like the US) leaving it out may even be preferable. Your LinkedIn profile can still use the headshot.
Log in to ResumeMaker.Online, click the resume photo placeholder, and press Generate with AI ✧ to turn any casual picture into a polished, professional headshot.
