EU Photo CV

An optional LaTeX photo CV for European applications.

Some European applicants choose a professional photo and a country-specific layout. ResumeTeX creates editable LaTeX source and a compiled photo CV, while leaving the photo optional. Check the role, employer, and current local guidance before including one.

Free to start. The photo is optional, and you can delete it anytime.

A typeset photo CV with a searchable text layer.

Local conventions

Check the market before adding a photo.

Conventions differ across Europe and between employers. These notes are orientation, not legal or hiring advice. A photo is always optional in ResumeTeX.

Germany

Some applicants use a structured Lebenslauf with a professional photo. Check the employer and role before adding one.

France

Photo use varies by sector and employer. A clear, formal layout works whether you include one or not.

Netherlands & Belgium

Practices vary between employers. Follow the listing and current local guidance rather than assuming a photo is required.

Austria

Some applicants use a photo, but it is not universal. Confirm the convention for the specific application.

Switzerland

A photo appears in some application dossiers. Employer expectations and anti-discrimination practices still vary.

How it works

Three steps to a photo CV you can review.

  1. Paste the job + your resume

    Drop in the posting and your current resume. The AI tailors the content to the role, in the language you need.

  2. Add an optional professional photo

    Upload a headshot if the market expects one, or skip it entirely. The layout adapts either way.

  3. Download a typeset photo CV

    Get editable LaTeX source and a compiled PDF with the optional photo placed in a structured layout, ready to review.

Your photo, your control

The photo is optional and yours to remove.

  • Your photo is always optional. Every other part of the CV works without it.
  • Photo content is excluded from GA4 and PostHog analytics events.
  • You can delete it from your account at any time.

LaTeX-typeset with a machine-readable text layer.

The photo sits inside a layout built from real LaTeX, and the document keeps a searchable text layer. Parsing varies across applicant tracking systems, so extract the PDF text and follow the employer's requested file format before submitting it.
