CV photo studio FAQ

What does the CV photo studio do?

It turns an ordinary photo into a clean, professional headshot — removing the busy background, placing your face on a solid colour, and square-cropping it so it sits neatly on your CV. No photographer or studio needed.

Should I put a photo on my CV?

It depends where you're applying. Across much of continental Europe a headshot is normal and often expected, while in the UK, Ireland and the US employers usually prefer none to avoid bias. When a photo is expected, a clean and professional one helps — and that's exactly what this makes.

Is the CV photo studio free?

Yes — it's completely free, with no sign-up needed to start. Upload a photo, get your headshot, then download it or add it straight to your CV at no cost.

Is my photo kept private?

Yes. The background removal runs entirely in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded to a server, stored or sold. Only the finished headshot is saved — and only if you choose to add it to your CV.
