A CV photo that fits the European standard
European CVs aren't American resumes. They run longer, list more detail, and most of them open with your photo top-left. A blurry holiday selfie there can sink an application before anyone reads a word.
HeadshotCam takes one regular selfie and gives you a CV photo that matches the format — neutral background, professional clothes, and the kind of soft, confident expression hiring managers in Berlin or Paris expect.
Generation is 5 to 15 seconds. Download the high-res file, paste it into your Europass or your custom layout, and ship the application same-day.

Советы
- 1 European CVs prefer a neutral expression — soft, professional, not a big smile.
- 2 Keep the background plain. Light gray or off-white works for nearly any industry.
- 3 Match attire to the country: Germany leans formal, the Nordics tolerate smart-casual, Italy expects sharp tailoring.
- 4 Crop tight to head and shoulders. CV photo boxes are small.
- 5 Use the same photo on your LinkedIn so recruiters confirm it's actually you.
Частые вопросы
What's the difference between a CV and resume photo?
Mostly format and norms. CV photos (Europe, academia, international) tend to be more formal and conservative. Resume photos in markets that allow them often look the same — the rules just shift by country.
Do PhD applications need a photo?
Most European PhD programs ask for one in the application form. Pick an Academic-collection style — it matches the tone of research applications.
How big should the photo file be?
High-res — at least 600x800 pixels. We give you the full-resolution download so you can scale down without quality loss.
Can I use this for visa applications?
AI photos aren't approved for official visa or passport submissions in most countries. Use HeadshotCam for the CV itself and a real biometric photo for any government document.
