Step 1: Choose a resume-friendly source selfie

Pick a recent image with straight posture, visible eyes, and minimal facial occlusion. Keep expression natural and confident.

Front camera is acceptable if sharpness is sufficient.
Avoid extreme angles or heavy beauty filters.
Ensure hairline and jawline are clearly visible.

Step 2: Use conservative portrait styling

For CV and LinkedIn use, realism performs better than stylized aesthetics.

Neutral backdrop and soft lighting.
Business-casual wardrobe cues.
Natural skin texture and accurate facial proportion.

Step 3: Export for both resume and profile platforms

Square format for profile avatars.
Portrait crop for CV documents.
Keep one full-resolution archive version.

Quick quality checklist

Face remains clearly identifiable.
No distracting background elements.
Image still looks natural at small size.
