The pictures you upload should be no larger than 2 Mg's. YouVR™ automatically reduces the size as it is being uploaded. However, the smaller you reduce your picture(s) the less time required for you to upload. The ideal size to upload would be approximately 400 KB.

The minimum dimensions required for your pictures must be 400(Width) X 300 (Height) pixels. YouVR™ automatically reduces the picture to fit in the Picture frame cropping some of the image – if you do not want your picture automatically cropped you should crop the picture yourself to the required size above.
