Why your CV photo is worth getting right
In much of Europe, Latin America and Asia, a photo on your CV is standard, and recruiters glance at it within seconds of opening your application. A sharp, friendly headshot helps you read as professional and approachable before they reach a single line of experience.
A casual cropped selfie or a holiday photo can undercut an otherwise strong CV. renza lets you generate a proper headshot from photos you already have, with studio quality lighting and a clean background that suits a formal document.
The photo is generated from your own face, so it stays honest while looking its best. You can produce several options and pick the one that matches the roles you are applying for.
How do I get a great CV photo?
Keep the background clean
For a CV, a plain studio or softly blurred background keeps attention on you and reads as formal. Busy scenes can feel out of place on a document.
Use a head and shoulders crop
A CV photo is small on the page, so a tight crop where your face is clearly visible works far better than a distant shot.
Dress for the role
Match your attire to the industry. A suit or blazer suits corporate roles, while smart casual fits creative and tech applications.
Choose a warm, confident look
A natural smile reads as approachable, which recruiters respond to. Avoid an overly serious expression.
Keep it recent
Train on current selfies so the photo matches how you will look in the interview.

Loved by professionals
A few of the people who refreshed their photos with renza.
I needed a headshot for a board bio with two days notice. I trained the model on a Sunday and had a set I was proud of that night.
Our remote team finally has a directory that looks consistent. Everyone matched the same style without anyone visiting a studio.
I swapped my LinkedIn photo for one of these and recruiters started replying. It is the same me, just a photo that looks the part.

Frequently asked questions
Should I put a photo on my CV?
It depends on the country and industry. In much of Europe, Latin America and Asia a photo is expected, while in the US and UK it is often left off. If a photo is expected, a clean professional headshot helps your application.
What kind of photo is best for a CV?
A head and shoulders headshot with even lighting, a clean background and professional attire. The face should be clearly visible since the photo appears small on the page.
Do AI CV photos look natural?
Yes. The headshot is generated from your own selfies, so it keeps your real features while improving the lighting, background and framing.
How do I make one?
Upload five to fifteen selfies, train your model in about five minutes, then generate a set of professional headshots and pick the best for your CV.
Can I get different versions?
Yes. You can generate studio, office and outdoor looks and choose the one that fits the role, then regenerate whenever you apply for something different.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at 9.99 per month with a personal model included, which is far less than a studio session and gives you many photos instead of one.
Is a AI CV photo cheaper than a photographer?
Yes. There are three common ways to get one. Doing it yourself with free tools costs nothing, but the quality is inconsistent and it takes a lot of trial and error. A traditional photographer charges around 200 dollars or more for a single session and a single look. renza costs 9.99 dollars per month and gives you a full set of professional headshots in studio, office and outdoor looks, generated from your own face and ready in minutes.
