Prepare a CV or résumé photo with a centered square crop. The tool targets 600×600 pixels and a JPG of up to 500 KB, and the photo is processed in your browser without an upload.
Your image is processed only in this browser. It is never uploaded to a server, stored or shared, and no account is needed. Check the destination’s current requirements before uploading.
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.
A square 600×600 image is a practical default for a digital CV or résumé photo. The tool crops around the center, so position your head near the middle of the original and leave a little space above it. Full-length or group photos will lose most of their content in a square crop.
Many application forms ask for a passport-style size in centimeters or inches rather than pixels. This tool sets pixels, so check the form's notice first and use a different preset only if it asks for something specific.
To set the CV photo size on this page, choose your photo, select Prepare, and then download the JPG. That is two clicks after you pick the file, and the preview lets you check that your face is not cut off before you save.
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 a portal asks for a smaller file, prepare the photo again from a lower-resolution original rather than shrinking a screenshot, which often looks worse.
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.
The preset is 600×600 pixels as a JPG of up to 500 KB. Use the rules in your application or the employer's notice if they specify something different.
Use a photo with your head near the middle and some space above it. The tool crops to a centered square, so check the preview before you download.

Yes. The tool compresses the JPG to stay under 500 KB and adjusts the dimensions if needed. Sizes here are decimal, where 1 KB equals 1,000 bytes.
