Concept: Worker Photo Recommendations
Once you upload an image, it can display in many places throughout Workday.
Therefore, images are dynamically scaled and cropped so that they display at an appropriate
size. Although an image might be scaled and cropped at run time, the aspect ratio of the
original image never changes.
For best results and performance, follow these guidelines:
Feature | Description |
|---|---|
Size | The maximum image size (in terms of storage) is 10 MB. |
Aspect Ratio | Use square images for best results. Because images typically display as circles
within Workday, images in any other shape don't fit properly, resulting in white spaces
in the circular area. An image about 200 x 200 pixels produces good results for most
applications. Example: The worker profile image is 150 x 150 pixels. Elsewhere, the same
images might display at 50 x 50 pixels. At run time, users can enlarge the image to its
original size. |
Background | A transparent background (available with PNG images, but not with the JPG format)
is optimal. However, a solid white background also produces good results. |
Color Space | Workday doesn't support images in the CMYK color space. |
File Format | Workday supports JPG, PNG, and GIF formats for worker images. However, PNG and
JPG images produce the best results in terms of size and quality. Worker images in GIF
format might produce undesirable results when resized for different uses at run
time. |
Layout | Use a consistent photographic layout for all workers. |
