The image is centered and the output dimensions adapt to the file-size limit. Keep the main subject near the center for a clear crop. File sizes use decimal units: 1 KB = 1,000 bytes and 1 MB = 1,000 KB. Your image is processed on your device.
Choose a clear portrait for your CV or resume. Review the prepared result before adding it to an application.
Use this square preset when your CV layout or employer accepts a digital headshot. It targets 600×600 pixels and crops around the center, so keep your head near the middle with space above it. A full-length or group photo will lose content in the square crop.
A printed size such as 35×45 mm also depends on print resolution and a different aspect ratio. This tool does not create a passport-size print or set a DPI requirement. Follow the employer’s dimensions and check whether a photo is requested before adding one.
Application portals often limit uploads to a few hundred kilobytes. The tool compresses the JPG to stay within 500 KB and lowers the dimensions only when compression alone does not reach the limit. File sizes are decimal, so 500 KB equals 500,000 bytes.
If the portal asks for a lower file-size limit, use the custom KB tool with that limit and check its separate requirements for dimensions and file type. Start from the original photo rather than a screenshot.
A CV photo should show your face clearly, in even light, against a plain background. Avoid heavy filters, sunglasses and group shots. Your current background is kept, and any transparent parts turn white.
Regional expectations vary. In some countries a headshot on a CV is normal, while in others employers prefer no photo at all, so check the job posting before you add one.
Expression and clothing count as much as pixels. A neutral, friendly look and clothing that suits the role usually read better than a casual snapshot. If you are unsure, ask a trusted contact to check the preview and tell you whether it matches how you want to be seen. Save the prepared JPG with a clear file name, such as your name and the word CV, so it is easy to find when you attach it.
