What photos work for an Ozil goal video?

Updated:

Short answer

Start with one clear photo of the scorer, and add a goalkeeper photo only if you want one. Each photo shows one subject facing the camera, as a JPG, PNG or WebP file up to 10 MB, between 300 and 6000 pixels on each side. Photos that are blurry, masked or full of people give the weakest results.

Technical limits

  • File type: JPG, PNG or WebP.
  • File size: up to 10 MB per photo.
  • Dimensions: over 300 and under 6000 pixels on each side.
  • Shape: a width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5, so no panoramas or thin strips.
  • Only the scorer photo is required. The same photo in both boxes is allowed, but the result looks odd.

Photos that look best

  • Even light and a sharp subject.
  • A face or front turned toward the camera, with eyes and mouth visible.
  • One subject per photo, on a plain or tidy background.
  • For pets, a close shot at eye level, facing the camera.
  • For toys, models and drawings, a clear shot of the whole figure.

Photos to skip

  • Group shots, since the model can latch onto the wrong subject.
  • Sunglasses, masks, hands over the face or strong beauty filters.
  • Screenshots with buttons or captions across the picture.
  • Footballers, celebrities and famous copyrighted characters.

Rules about people and characters

Upload only yourself, adults who agreed, or pets, toys and drawings that belong to you. Celebrities, minors and adult content are not allowed. Read Photo Consent and Acceptable Use first. Nobody connected to a footballer or club has endorsed this site.

Questions people ask

Can I use a selfie?

Yes. A sharp, well-lit selfie works well for the scorer, as long as the whole face is in the frame.

What if my photo is rejected?

A message under the upload box names the problem, such as size, format or shape. Fix it and upload again. Nothing is charged for a rejected photo.

Can I upload a screenshot of a footballer?

No. Footballers and other public figures are blocked, and so is any photo that seems to show one. Use yourself, a friend who agreed, or your own pet or toy.
