Color Profiles and sRGB for Job Portals
Colours that look vivid on your camera can look dull after upload if profiles are mishandled. Recruitment sites usually limit photo and document sizes to keep their systems fast.
Recommended settings for job portals
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 800 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 70 |
| File size | 100 KB or less |
These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.
Color Profiles and sRGB
Most screens and browsers assume sRGB. Photos in wider profiles may shift when the profile is dropped during upload.
Browser-based compression outputs standard sRGB pixels, which is what job portals expects. If colours change dramatically, export from your editor in sRGB before compressing.
