Image Specs
File type (JPEG/PNG/HEIC), minimum resolution (e.g., 300 DPI for print), color profile, maximum file size, and recommended crop/ratio for consistent display.
A consistent Business Portrait Template reduces editing and legal review time, ensures correct technical files and credits, and documents permissions for publishing and reuse. It centralizes required data so marketing, HR, and legal teams can process portraits efficiently while reducing risk from missing releases or mismatched metadata.
The template is most often completed by individuals who will appear in published materials and by staff who manage content intake.
Centralizing image specs and consent in one template streamlines publication workflows and creates an auditable record of permissions.
