Frequently Asked Questions

Should I include a photo on my resume?

It depends on your industry and location. In creative fields, sales, and international applications, photos are often expected. In the US tech industry, it's less common but increasingly accepted. Either way, having a professional headshot ready for LinkedIn and other profiles is essential.

What background color works best for resumes?

Clean, neutral backgrounds work best - white, light gray, or subtle gradients. Our AI automatically generates headshots with professional backgrounds that complement any resume design.

Can I get headshots for multiple industries?

Yes! Generate variations for different applications - more formal for finance, creative for marketing, approachable for customer-facing roles. Each credit lets you create different looks.

What size should my resume headshot be?

We provide high-resolution images that can be cropped to any size. Common resume photo sizes are 2x2 inches or 400x400 pixels. Our headshots are delivered at high resolution so you can resize as needed.

How fast can I get a resume headshot?

Your AI-generated resume headshot is ready in under 2 minutes. Upload a selfie, select a professional style, and download your finished photo. Perfect for last-minute job applications when you don't have time to book a photographer.

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

Absolutely. A professional headshot works across all your job search materials - resume, LinkedIn, cover letter headers, and career site profiles. Generate one great shot and use it everywhere, or create slightly different variations for each.

Will the headshot look natural on my resume?

Yes. Our AI produces headshots that look like authentic professional photography. Hiring managers and recruiters will see a polished, well-lit portrait that enhances your resume - not something that looks digitally manipulated.

What should I wear in my upload photo for best resume results?

You don't need to dress up for your selfie. Our AI can generate you in professional attire - suits, blazers, business casual - regardless of what you're wearing in the original photo. Just make sure your face is clearly visible.

Do you offer group discounts for career programs or job fairs?

For career centers, bootcamps, and job fair organizers who need headshots for multiple candidates, contact us about volume pricing. It's a popular solution for coding bootcamps and university career services.

Are the resume headshots suitable for international applications?

Yes. We generate headshots that follow professional photography standards used globally. For regions where resume photos are standard (Europe, Asia, Middle East), our headshots meet local expectations for format and style.
