Photo Guide

Your card is only as good as its photo. Sixty seconds of setup makes all the difference.

✅ The Perfect Shot

Plain light wall behind you, camera at eye level, shoulders squared to the lens, neutral expression.

❌ Avoid These

No hats, no sunglasses, no filters, no selfies from below, and no busy backgrounds or other people in frame.

💡 Pro Tips

Stand facing a window for soft even light, wipe your lens first, and shoot at arm’s length or with a tripod — never at a harsh angle.

✅ Checklist Before You Upload

  • JPG or PNG, at least 600×600 px
  • Face fills roughly 60–70% of the frame
  • Eyes open, looking straight at the camera
  • Even lighting — no half-shadow across the face
  • File under 10 MB
