Frequently Asked Questions

Getting useless content can be very costly, both in dollars and in time. Using stock imagery can make your business look generic. With budget considerations and personalization in mind, Capturely’s assembly line of specialists will collaborate with you and your team to create authentic images and video that showcase and humanize your brand.

What should I wear for my ERAS headshot session?2023-09-15T12:06:44-07:00

It is important to keep your attire as professional as possible. All ERAS candidates are encouraged to wear a navy or charcoal suit jacket, and males must wear a tie. Dark, rich, solid colors are ideal and you should avoid any patterns on ties.

Avoid wearing a white coat or scrubs on your primary application photo as that is strongly discouraged.

Don’t hesitate to consult with a Capturely team member for any additional information and tips.

Are there specific requirements I need to meet for my ERAS Headshot?2023-09-15T12:08:13-07:00

  • The photo dimensions must be 2.5 x 3.5 inches
  • The file size cannot exceed 100 KB
  • The resolution should be 150 dpi
  • Your face should be centered with a frontal view of your head and shoulders
