Make it in TelegramThe prompt behind this style
Turn this selfie into a neutral CV photo. Keep the face, features and expression exactly recognizable. A plain light gray background, a smart casual top, even soft front lighting, head and shoulders centered, slight friendly smile, realistic photo. Vertical 3:4, no text.
What a CV photo needs
A CV photo should be simple: head and shoulders, plain background, even light and a calm expression. The prompt asks for a light gray backdrop, a smart casual top and soft front light. There is no text. The result is a vertical 3:4 image that you can crop to the size of your template. Many job sites and employers in different countries have their own photo rules, so check them first.
Getting a believable result
Your source photo does most of the work. Use a front-facing selfie in daylight. Hold the phone at eye level and keep a plain wall behind. Leave the hair as it is in real life. Heavy retouching does not help, and employers may notice differences at the interview. If the face looks different, rerun and compare. A small smile reads as friendly.
Honest use
This is an AI generated image. Some employers, agencies and official forms require a real, unedited photo, and passports or visas need photos that meet strict rules, which this image does not. Say that the picture is AI generated if the employer asks, and use a real photo where it is required. A rerun costs 2 credits. When the image arrives, look at the face against your real look first, since that is where drift shows up most.
Tips
- Send a straight selfie at eye level, with the whole face visible.
- Choose a plain top in the caption, such as a white shirt or a gray sweater.
- Avoid filters and sunglasses in the source.
- Keep the expression neutral or slightly smiling.
- Compare the result with your real face, age and hairstyle before using it.
Questions and answers
Is it accepted by employers?
Some may prefer a real photo. Check the application rules and be honest about AI use.
Can I use it for a passport or visa?
No. Official documents have strict photo rules.
Can I choose the background color?
Yes. Light gray is default. Ask for white or light blue in the caption.
Will it change my appearance?
It tries to keep your face. Compare it with your real look.
What if I wear glasses?
Say so in the caption and check that they look right.
