Should You Add a Photo to Your Resume?

The answer depends on where you apply and your target industry:

  • Europe & Latin America:
  • Resume photos are still expected in many countries.

  • United States & UK:
  • Photos are often discouraged due to bias and legal concerns.

  • Creative roles:
  • Designers, marketers and actors may benefit from showcasing their look.

  • Corporate & tech roles:
  • 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.


Pro Tips for Resume Photos

  • Keep it recent:
  • A photo older than 2–3 years may feel misleading.

  • Neutral background:
  • Light grey or white makes you stand out without distraction.

  • Attire fits the role:
  • For a developer job, smart casual is fine; for consulting, opt for a suit jacket.

  • Use the same headshot everywhere:
  • Resume, LinkedIn, personal site — consistency builds trust.

  • If unsure, skip:
  • When applying in regions where photos aren’t standard, focus on content instead.


FAQ

— 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.
