What makes a good profile photo?

Go to Newsletter, then Photo review, then What makes a good photo? to open the guide while you review.

Approve when:

• The face fills most of the frame.
• It is clearly lit and the face is easy to see.
• It is a recent photo of just this person.
• Indoors or outdoors, either is fine.

Deny when:

• It is a pet, a child, or a cartoon.
• It is a logo, a sign, or a product.
• It is a group photo and you cannot tell who the resident is.
• Sunglasses, a hat, a mask or a hand hides the face.
• It is a landscape, an abstract image or a screenshot.
• It is heavily filtered or made by AI.
• It is blurry, very dark, or cropped too tight.

When you deny, write the reason in plain words, like No face visible or Appears to be a pet. The resident sees exactly what you write.
