Criteria for uploading player headshots

💻 Environment/Context

  • Teams & players
  • AI tagging
  • File size must be under 2MB error

 

❓ Issue/Question

  • What is the maximum file size for a player photo?
  • What is the ideal ratio for a player picture?
  • What is the correct file format for a player headshot?

 

👌 Resolution/Answer

  • File size: the maximum is 2 MB
    • Bigger files reduce the performance of the AI face recognition
  • File format: use .png or .jpeg
    • .webp files don't work
  • Resolution: use at least 1280x720 pixels
  • Ratio: there is no best ratio. 16:9, 4:3 and 1:1 all work
  • Framing: show only the face and shoulders of the person
    • Full body photos can lower the accuracy of the AI recognition
  • Quality: use the best quality you have, with no visible pixels
    • Image quality has a direct impact on the face recognition results
