#QuestionAnsweredAnswer
1Do we need to store the original image?Yes
Amelia Sutton : no need to store the original image, only store the scaled image.
2What scaled resolutions do we need to store?
3Does anyone use FOLIO from mobile browsers?

4Do we maintain the picture after a user has expired? Yes
5Do we support profile picture detention?Yes
6How thumbnails should be generated? Cropping or Resizing?

Steve Ellis : Better to have a cropping mechanism on UI.

Amelia Sutton : Resizing on the longer side with whitespace on the sides. Cropping might be a future feature

Priyanka Terala : Cropping might require communication with Stripes core team. 

Kalibek Turgumbayev : Let's estimate the cropping approach.

Amelia Sutton : The SIG requests that images be scaled (without distortion) to fit within the space allotted in the relevant area of the UI. This would mean that there might be whitespace surrounding images that have a significant difference between their height and width, but will allow institutions to upload the images that they use in other systems without concern for adjusting for size. In the documentation for the profile pictures feature we will include recommended limits to aspect ratio that would not be enforced by the system. Even with this scaling it would be useful to allow images to be cropped using a cropping modal. So if you are able to find a React library that would allow for that to be implemented easily, it should be included in this initial feature.

7File size limitations?Yes

Kalibek Turgumbayev : The recommended limitation is 10MB

Amelia Sutton : UM SIG agrees to a 10MB limit

8Can Should external links should be stored in FOLIO?

Amelia Sutton : No. One of the institutions has a requirement not to store pictures on FOLIO side. Detailed requirements should be investigated

Steve Ellis : Cropping will not be possible.

Amelia Sutton: As per Thomas Trutt at Cornell (the primary institution that requires external storage for profile pictures), for their externally hosted images they will be using SSL with a static token supplied in the url so we do not need any considerations for authentication by FOLIO for externally hosted images. 

9Should FOLIO support any export of data related to profile pictures?
10Do we need to support profile picture enabling on the fly? If yes, then it would be more complex then than a single checkbox, because it will require to provide providing storage type configuration
