Key Takeaways
A good result when you convert any photo to resume CV photo should still look like a real photograph of you. The strongest prompt gives the AI clear instructions about identity, expression, clothing, background, lighting, and camera framing.
For most professional uses, the face should remain sharp and naturally proportioned. A relaxed expression works better than an exaggerated smile, while simple clothing helps keep attention on the person. Neutral backgrounds are usually safer for formal applications.
