Considerations for Loading Person Photos

You can upload employees' photos from pages such as Personal Details. You can also load them in bulk using HCM Data Loader.

In this topic, you will learn about the important considerations to note when loading person photos.

Employee Personal Health Data

Before loading employee photos, consider whether the photos might create an unintended connection to employee's personal health data. Privacy and security protections in your country may apply.

Uploading Photos

To upload multiple photos at a time, use the Worker object in the HCM Data Loader.

When you're uploading the photo:

• Ensure that the file size is less than 20 megabytes.

• Upload a photo in any format, but the typical format is either a .png or .jpeg file.

• Ensure that the photo dimensions are 90 x 120 pixels to help reduce the distortion of the photo. If the photo isn't 90 x 120 pixels, it's recommended to maintain a 3 x 4 aspect ratio.

Caching Images

To cache person photos to improve performance of pages that display many images, for example, organization chart, you must specify Y in the PER_IMAGE_ENABLE_CACHING profile option. You can also choose not to cache photos especially if people at your site use kiosks to access the application.
