How to add a photo on Awesome-CV?

[miklovv]

Hi all, Please, could you give me any suggestions to add a photo (next to Personal information) in my cv? Not able to do that by modifying awesome-cv.cls file...

Thanks in advance, miklovv

In order to add photo, you don't need to modify awesome-cv.cls. It provides you with such command. Instead, you need to use (uncomment) in it your cv.tex file under the PERSONAL INFORMATION section in the preamble. By default, this command will put photo on the left side, will cropped it into a circle shape and add border around it:

\photo{./my_photo.png}

Note, that here you need to specify path to png file with respect to the main awesome-cv.cls file and not its symbolic link.

You can also specify optional arguments in order to change default settings:

% Photo will be placed on the right side
\photo[right]{./my_photo.png}

% No edge around the photo
\photo[noedge]{./my_photo.png}

% Photo won't be cropped and will be as a rectangle
\photo[rectangle]{./my_photo.png}

You can combined these options, if you want to use some of them at the same time (order doesn't matter)

\photo[right,rectangle]{./my_photo.png}
