Resume Templates with Photo
Resume templates with a photo place a professional headshot in the header, giving people-facing applications a stronger personal first impression. They are common for roles in client services, hospitality, and real estate, and in many European and APAC markets.
A photo is optional on every template — these layouts simply integrate one cleanly from the start. Because some US, UK, and Canadian employers screen out photos to avoid bias, check local norms before you include one.
Why use a resume template with a photo?
A resume template with a photo places a professional headshot in the header, giving people-facing applications a stronger personal first impression. These layouts integrate the photo cleanly from the start, so it looks designed-in rather than pasted on.
Who should use a resume with a photo?
Photo resumes are common for certain roles and regions:
- Client services, hospitality, and real estate
- Sales and front-of-house positions
- Markets across much of Europe and APAC
- Personal-brand and on-camera roles
How to add or remove a photo
Every template has a Show photo toggle in the Design & Font panel, so you can produce both a photo and a photo-free version from the same resume. Upload a clear, professional headshot, and switch it off for regions or employers where photos are discouraged.
Tips for a strong resume photo
Treat it like a LinkedIn profile picture:
- Use a well-lit, neutral background
- Dress for the role and keep an approachable expression
- Avoid casual snapshots and group photos
- Keep a photo-free simple version for US, UK, and Canada applications

ATS Resume Checker Team·Common questions about resume templates with a photo
01Should I put a photo on my resume?
It depends on your region and role. Photos are expected in much of Europe and APAC and for some client-facing jobs, but often discouraged in the US, UK, and Canada. When unsure, a photo-free simple template is the safer choice.
02Do ATS systems read resume photos?
No — tracking systems ignore images entirely, so a photo neither helps nor hurts parsing. The risk is human bias-screening, not the software.
03Can I remove the photo later?
Yes — every template has a Show photo toggle in the Design & Font panel, so you can produce both a photo and a photo-free version from the same resume.
04What kind of photo should I use?
A professional, well-lit headshot with a neutral background and an approachable expression. Avoid casual or group photos — treat it like a LinkedIn profile picture.
05Where is the photo placed?
These templates integrate the headshot into the header or a sidebar from the start, so it looks designed-in rather than pasted on. You can toggle it off any time.
06Are photo resumes ATS-friendly?
The photo itself is ignored by parsers, so it doesn't affect ATS reading. The caution is human bias-screening in some regions — when unsure, keep a photo-free simple version.
