- Your smiling face!
- Close up faces look best. Professionally done "headshots" or family photos are perfect.
- Include just you, you and your spouse, or the whole family: your choice for what's best for your MTD. Avoid a group shot where you are just one of many.
- This should actually be you. Don't use a stand-in "avatar," like a cartoon, or object, or something abstract.
- This same round photo also appears in a rectangle size in the missionary search card. The photo uploader will only let you re-size to a level that works for both. Some size photos won't work well in the circle (like very wide or very high). Try a different one or re-crop it on your computer before you upload.
- Dress appropriately for the ministry you do. (college ministry = casual is okay; business ministry = suit). Be relatively conservative on skin revealing clothes and avoid images or brand logos on clothes.
- Large, high-resolution photos are good ideas. (Wider than 600pixels. Ideal is 1000+ pixels). The site will resize them automatically for website.
- We recommend using the same photo as your printed Missionary Profile Card to give a matching feel to donors.
Tips
- Close up smiling faces look best.
- 1000+ pixels wide is ideal. 600pixels minimum
- This same round photo also appears in a rectangle size as a missionary search card. The photo uploader will only let you set a crop that works for both. Not working? You may need to choose a different photo.

Long Ministry Description
...
The missionary profile card (ordered on the CopyCat website) is designed to point new financial partners to your web profile. We think using the same (or similar) photos in both places will help financial partners instantly recognize you.
Where Your Photos Can Appear
Your photos appear primarily on your missionary profile.
When you upload a photo, you are also saying you are okay with us using your missionary photo to represent you as a Reliant missionary in similar situations. For example, your photo could be selected to
- Be re-printed on a financial partner newsletter
- Placed in a section of the website for those thinking about going into fulltime ministry
Frequently Asked Questions
What size photos should I use?
Use the largest or highest quality photo you have for each one. Our web software will automatically size it correctly for a large screen or a phone.
| Minimum | Ideal | |
|---|---|---|
| Profile Photo | 600 pixels wide | 1000 pixels wide or more |
| Cover Photo | 2000 pixels wide | 3500 pixels wide or more |
Current iPhones take photos that are 4000+ pixels wide.
How do I get the printed Missionary Profile Card?
You order them separately on our new CopyCat print-to-order site. You'll have to upload your photos separately there (sorry)—it's a completely different system.
We suggest uploading the same photos in both places to make your printed profile card resemble your web profile.
