How it works
01
Check the local convention
US, UK, Canada: no photo. Germany, France, most of Asia: photo expected.
02
Drop it above
The tool lays the subject on a clean background.
03
Crop to passport size
Around 35 by 45 millimetres is standard for most resume markets.
Things that help
—Match the photo style to the market. German resumes want formal, Asian resumes are more relaxed.
—Wear business attire.
—Keep the photo small on the page. It should be a thumbnail, not the focus.
