K-ETA's FAQ allows a JPG of up to 20MB, so 100KB is our own target, not the portal's limit; a small file uploads quickly on any connection. Over-compressing can make the face blurry, so the image should be cropped and sized first, then compressed carefully.
- Prepare a portal-friendly JPEG.
- Keep the face sharp after compression.
- Use a plain, evenly lit background.
