I recently graduated and worked hard on a few projects to enhance my resume since I don't have much work experience. I'm really proud of these projects, and I've applied to many jobs but haven't heard back yet. I'm considering whether it would be beneficial to include a few small screenshots of my projects on my resume instead of just a description with links to GitHub. I haven't seen this done before and would love to hear your thoughts!

Having images in your resume can mess with ATS systems. It's better to showcase your projects with screenshots and GIFs in your GitHub READMEs; this way, hiring managers can see your work while keeping your resume clean.
I wouldn't recommend including images in your resume. Keep it text-only to maintain a professional look.
From my experience, adding visuals can help you stand out. I used device mockups and it worked great for me. But be careful; if you decide to add images, make sure your resume still looks professional.
Instead of adding screenshots to your resume, I suggest creating an online portfolio. You can link to that in your resume, and it allows for more visuals without cluttering your document.
No screenshots on the resume. Just include links to your projects and make sure to describe what you did and learned during each project.
