Check whether a photo belongs in the application
Expectations differ between countries, employers, and industries. Read the vacancy instructions before adding one. You can use the editor without a photo, and removing an image does not remove your written details.
Choose a layout that suits the image
Aurora pairs a photo with a soft introduction. Portrait and Halo give it a centered position, while Sidebar and Atlas place it with supporting information. Compare the full-size examples before choosing how prominent the image should be.
Review the crop at document size
Use a clear image with your face near the centre and enough room around it for a circular crop. The editor accepts PNG, JPEG, or WebP and prepares the image on your device. Check the live PDF preview and remove or replace the photo if the crop cuts off an important detail.
