| A: | The time it takes to upload your photo is dependent on three things:
- the size of the photo
- your connection speed
- server traffic.
The easiest way to reduce the time is to reduce the size of the photo. There are many third-party freeware and commercial applications that can help you with this. Here are some general tips:
- If your photo is in BMP (Windows Bitmap) format, save it as JPG. JPG files are typically much smaller in size.
- If the photo's resolution or dimensions are high, you should consider resizing it.
- If the photo contains many things other than your face (e.g. other people, background), you should consider cropping it. |
