    Best photo size

    Square aspect ratio, at least 800×800 px, ideally 1200×1200 px. Under 5 MB.

  2. 2

    Recommended image format

    Use JPG or PNG. Avoid HEIC, TIFF, and BMP — the browser uploader does not support them.

  3. 3

    Lighting and background tips

    Natural daylight beats studio lights. Use a clean, neutral background and keep your eyes centered in the frame.

    How to upload

    Open your card editor, click the photo placeholder, then drag-and-drop or browse to your file. We auto-crop and optimize on upload.

  5. 5

    How to replace photo

    Click the existing photo in your editor and choose 'Replace'. Save to push the new photo live.

  6. 6

    Troubleshooting upload errors

    If the upload fails, refresh the page, disable VPNs or strict ad-blockers, and try a different browser (Chrome or Safari work best).

    HEIC / mobile photo issues

    On iPhone, go to Settings → Camera → Formats → Most Compatible, then re-take or re-export the photo as JPG before uploading.
