What resolution should a Business card photo be?+
Aim for a 4:5 crop and export at 1200 px on the long edge. That's what this tool produces by default. It's sharp enough for business card portrait (4:5) without being needlessly large. Your face should fill roughly 60% of the frame height so it reads well at the size it'll actually be shown.
What aspect ratio does a Business card photo use?+
A Business card photo uses a 4:5 ratio (Business card portrait (4:5)). The cropper here is locked to 4:5, so you can't accidentally upload a square where a portrait is expected, or the other way around. Drag and zoom to frame your face. The shape stays correct.
Is my photo uploaded to a server for the Business card headshot?+
No. Cropping, background fill, and the AI background-removal model all run in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device, which matters for a business card photo that may carry your real name and face.
What background works best for a Business card photo?+
For a business card photo, a plain or softly blurred background reads cleanest at the size it's shown. You can pick a solid colour, choose a scene preset, or use the in-browser AI background removal to drop in a clean backdrop. Avoid busy backgrounds, as they compete with your face once the image is small.
