You can upload any valid image file in JPG, JPEG, or PNG file format.  GIF images are not recommended because they distort when resized.

Billboards will be automatically sized to a maximum of 400 pixels wide and/or 135 pixels high maintaining the same proportions as the original uploaded image.

For best results, upload an image that is exactly 400x135.

Uploaded images should have a minimum height of 68 pixels or the Avatars will shrink instead of expand.

Tip: To maximize the size of your Billboard/Avatar, upload images with a landscape orientation (more wide than tall) with an approximate 3:1 aspect ratio (600x200, 500x170, 450x150, etc.)

• Images larger than 400x135 will be reduced in size and may lose some detail.

• Images smaller that 400x135 will stay at their smaller size.

• Square images will be reduced to 200 pixels in height (the maximum), and therefore only 200 pixels in width (Avatars will be 68x68).

• Vertical or Portrait (more tall than wide) images will be reduced to  less than 200 pixels in width and 200 pixels in height.

Upload images must have a maximum file size of 100k, and maximum dimensions of 600 x 600 pixels
 

Tip: If your are not satisfied with the Avatar produced from your uploaded image, crop, edit, or change your image and upload again until you are satisfied.
