Everything You Need to Know About Uploading Your Medical Residency Photo

Applying for residency through ERAS? You’ve likely got your transcripts, letters, and personal statement lined up — but don’t overlook one of the most critical details: your ERAS headshot. This image is often the first impression program directors will have of you. If you're wondering exactly how to upload ERAS photo to MyERAS, this guide from Tals Studio has you covered.

We’ve helped thousands of medical students and IMGs get professional, properly formatted ERAS photos — and we’ll walk you through how to upload yours seamlessly.

🧠 Why Your ERAS Photo Matters

Your headshot is attached to every part of your residency application. It’s not just a formality — it represents your professionalism, attention to detail, and readiness to match.

But if the format is wrong, your photo could be rejected or display incorrectly. That’s why following the MyERAS photo upload guidelines is so important.
