What Are ERAs Headshots?

ERAs headshots are professional portrait photos used in medical residency applications.

While we won't tell you whether it's advantageous to include a headshot, our AI headshot generator can save you hours of time and hundreds of dollars if you choose to include one.

How Does AI Generate ERAs Headshots?

1. Choose your backdrops and clothing: We offer a variety of options, with white backdrops recommended for medical residency applications.

2. Upload your selfies: Use existing photos or take new ones against a plain background with good lighting and a natural smile.

3. Download your favorite headshots: You'll receive multiple options to choose from, with at least one incredible profile-worthy headshot guaranteed.

What Are the ERAs Headshot Requirements?

According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, ERAs headshot requirements are:

File type: JPG/JPEG or PNG, Maximum file size: 150 KB, Maximum dimensions: 2.5inx3.5in, Maximum resolution: 150 DPI

How Can I Make My Headshot ERAs Ready?

If your ERAs headshot is larger than 150 KB, you can use an image compression tool like TinyPNG to make the file size smaller.

If you're unsure if the photo resolution or photo dimensions are correct, try opening the file up in MS Paint (Windows) or Preview (macOS).

For MS Paint (Windows):

To check the resolution:

1. Open the headshot in MS Paint

2. File - Properties (to see current resolution)

To change the resolution:

1. Click the 'Resize' option in the toolbar (it might be under 'Image' in some versions of Paint)

2. Change the horizontal and vertical dimensions to inches. For a 2.5x3.5-inch photo, set the width to 2.5 inches and the height to 3.5 inches

3. Make sure the 'Units' are set to 'Inches' and the 'Resample' option is checked

4. Adjust the 'Horizontal' and 'Vertical' resolutions to 150 pixels per inch (DPI)

5. Click 'OK' to apply the changes

6. Save the photo

For Preview (macOS):

1. Right click the image - Open With - Preview

2. Tools - Adjust Size

3. Change the values to your desired dimensions (2.5x3.5-inches) and resolution (150 DPI)

4. Ensure that the 'Resample Image' option is checked

5. Apply Changes

6. File - Save

its good and easy to use the only thing I find that is different is the nose tips.... that detail always appears to be slightly point due to how the images are merging etc.. but otherwise really could take wait to see the version another 6 months time.

I am very bad at maintaining my facial expressions while taking a pic!! This literally solved that. I do have few suggestions - like say if I like a photo then I should have an option to get the same photo in a different background!! But that's a minor improvement to an already great product!!
