ERAS headshot requirements, handled for you
MyERAS validates your photo the moment you upload. We deliver files that pass on the first try, with no manual cropping or compression on your end.
At 150 dpi, a 2.5 × 3.5 inch print works out to exactly 375 × 525 pixels (2.5 × 150 = 375 wide, 3.5 × 150 = 525 tall). That is the pixel size MyERAS actually checks on upload, and the exact size every Dreamwave portrait is delivered at.
Note: 150 DPI is advisory. MyERAS validates uploads on pixel dimensions and file size, both of which we meet exactly.
A polished first impression.
Program directors use your photo to recognize you on interview day, so getting it right matters. We deliver a clean, professional portrait that meets every ERAS specification and is ready to upload, so your photo represents you well from the very first look.
