At this time, you cannot add a photo to a resume template in ResyBuild.io.

There are a number of reasons why this option isn't available:

Images are not ATS-friendly
A picture could distract from your skills and experience
In many countries, a resume photo is considered unprofessional
Most HR departments reject resumes with images to prevent discrimination

Let Your Personality Shine

In place of a photo on your resume, we encourage linking to your LinkedIn profile!

Your LinkedIn profile is a great place for your professional headshot.

It's also where you can showcase your career achievements and elaborate on your experience.
