Frequently asked questions

What size should a resume photo be?

Most job sites accept images up to 500 KB–2 MB. Staying under 500 KB keeps your application light and is accepted almost everywhere.

Can I compress scanned certificates too?

Yes. Add them in the same batch; PNG scans are converted to WebP or JPG so they can reach the size limit while text stays legible.
