The Photo That Goes
on Top of Your Application
A recruiter looks at your application for about 7 seconds. Your photo gets seen first. Free preview before you decide. No account needed.
Upload a Selfie
Two Applications, Same Skills
Picture two applications on a recruiter's screen. Same degree. Same experience. Same cover letter, more or less.
One has a crisp photo: good light, tidy blazer, calm gray background. The other has a cropped vacation shot. You can still see a stranger's shoulder in it.
Which one looks like they want the job?
That's the whole pitch. Not fair, maybe. But it's how the 7 seconds get spent. And fixing it costs less than the coffee you'd bring to the interview.
What Makes a Photo Look "Professional"?
Every photographer runs the same checklist. There's no magic in it:
A studio charges $150 to $400 to run that checklist. We run it on your selfie in about a minute.

Job Application Photo FAQ
Do I need a photo on my CV or resume?
Depends where you apply. In the US, UK, and Canada, resumes usually have no photo. In Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, and most of Europe and Asia, a CV photo is expected. But here's the thing: even where resumes skip photos, recruiters look you up on LinkedIn within minutes. Your photo gets seen either way.
What should I wear in a job application photo?
Wear what you'd wear to the interview. Suit or blazer for corporate jobs, a clean casual shirt for tech and creative work. You pick the outfit as a preset here, so the selfie you upload can show you in a t-shirt. Nobody will know.
Can I use a selfie for my job application?
Not directly. A raw selfie says 'I didn't bother.' But a selfie is a perfectly good starting point. Upload it, and you get back a photo with studio lighting, a neutral background, and proper attire. That one you can use.
How much does a job application photo cost?
A photographer charges $150 to $400 and books you in next week. Here it works like this: the preview is free, and the full-resolution photo costs $5. No account, no subscription.
What size should a CV photo be?
Most CV templates use a portrait photo around 3:4, roughly 400 by 530 pixels or larger. Our downloads are high resolution, so you can crop them to any size. Our free crop tool has presets for exactly this.

One Honest Note
A photo won't get you the job. Your skills do that. But a good photo makes sure the 7 seconds go well — and the preview costs you nothing to find out.
