ADVICE TO ACHIEVE THE BEST PICTURE QUALITY

smilePictures displayed here do not have to look like your driver's license!

Following these few simple rules will allow us to display a bright, clear picture:

  • Please ensure the picture is large.
    • Preferably 640 pixels wide by 480 pixels high or larger.
    • The picture should be 72 dpi not larger!. Yes, this is opposite of what is asked for for printing the pictures where a larger dpi is better.
  • JPG is the preferable format, with colour in RGB format. Avoid GIF if possible (GIF only has a maximum colour depth of 256 colours)
  • Please ensure there is nothing blocking any part of your face in the picture.
  • For best results, the light should be shining on your face, not from behind.
