How to Standardize a Photo for Your Indian Resume & CV
In the Indian job market, presenting a professionally formatted CV is critical for government jobs, private corporate sectors, and online job application systems. While western CV guidelines discourage photos to prevent bias, Indian hiring conventions frequently request standard passport-size photos (3.5cm x 4.5cm) integrated into the top corner. Uploading raw phone selfies or full-length photos looks unprofessional and bloats the document size. Our free browser tool lets you select any photo, center-crop it to the correct 7:9 passport layout, and compress it under 50KB—perfect for keeping your final resume file light and email-friendly.
