Can I add a profile picture?

moderncv

There is a built-in command in the moderncv package.

\photo A command for a photo. Takes the image file name as a required argument. Takes the height of the photo and the thickness of the photo frame as optional arguments.

    \photo[<photo height >][< frame thickness >]{<photo file name >}

You can add the line into the Preamble.j2.tex file that is in the moderncv folder after initializing (run rendercv new "Your Name" command first). Keep in mind that the root directory for outputs will be the rendercv_output folder (when running rendercv render Your_Name_CV.yaml command). So, for example, when you have your JPG in the folder where you have your Your_Name_CV.yaml file then you can add the picture path so (on Windows):

\photo[3cm][1pt]{<<"../MyCVphoto.jpg">>}
