Guidelines for Loading Person Images

The person image appears on various Oracle HCM Cloud application pages to identify a person's record. This topic describes aspects of loading the Person Image component of the Worker object using HCM Data Loader.

Image Type

You can set the ImageType attribute only to PROFILE. If you omit the ImageType attribute, then the type is PROFILE by default.

Image Size

The recommended size of the image is 90 pixels by 120 pixels. Images of different sizes are supported, but you're recommended to maintain an aspect ratio of 3 by 4 to reduce any distortion. No recommendation exists for the image resolution. The maximum size of the image file is 2 GB. However, you're recommended to store images at the smallest possible size, taking into account the suggested dimensions. The smaller the image, the better the performance of the image display in the application. Typically, the file size of an image of the recommended dimensions would be only 2 or 3 MB, even at high resolution.
