How to Resize Images for Casting Frontier

On Casting Frontier, when uploading headshots, the image size must be in between 10 Bytes to 5 MB and resolution less than 2000 * 1600. If the file you are uploading is too large, you will first have to resize it. Below, we have included 3 different options to help you easily resize your photos.

On Mac:

1. Open your headshot in the Preview app. This application comes as standard on Apple computers.
   
   
2. On the Toolbar at the top of your screen, click on Tools.
   
   
3. In the Tools menu, click on Adjust Size.
   
   
4. On the Adjust Size tool, first make sure the unit of measurement is set to pixels and the Scale proportionally box is checked. Then, adjust the smaller of the two dimensions (most likely the Width if your headshot is in Portrait Orientation) to 1000 pixels. If Scale proportionally is checked, the other dimension will also adjust.
   
   
5. Click OK. Your photo is now resized and you should be able to upload it to your Casting Frontier account!
