Guide
How it works & what to know
Practical details about this tool — written for people and search engines alike.
Across much of Europe—especially German-speaking job markets—printed and PDF CVs still use a 35×45 mm Bewerbungsfoto. Online applications often also prefer a small JPEG so attachments stay near or under about 200KB.
Official Europass guidance treats a photo as optional unless an employer asks for one, and it does not mandate exact pixels. Use this page when you need a common Continental CV frame and a practical file-size ceiling—not as a substitute for a specific employer’s upload rules.
A job photo is personal data under GDPR. Processing stays in your browser on IMG Free Toolkit; the image is not uploaded to our servers for this tool.
If your portal asks for a square LinkedIn-style crop instead of 35×45 mm, use the Image Resizer. If it only states a KB limit with no frame, use Compress Image to 200KB.
Use even lighting and a plain background. Soften busy walls before compressing so the 200KB budget goes to your face, not background noise.
Prefer a recent photo with a neutral expression. Avoid heavy filters—many ATS and recruiter screens display the JPEG as-is.
Cropping, resizing, and compression run locally in your browser. Files are not uploaded to IMG Free Toolkit servers.
