  1. What pictures do you recommend I upload to my profile?
    All pictures on Single Muslim go through our standard approval process before being made live on the site.

    The following guidelines should give you an idea of what is allowed on our service:
    • Primary Picture
      Your primary picture must be a clear head-and-shoulders shot of yourself only. If you wear a Hijab or Niqab, this is acceptable here. Your picture will be rejected if:
      • you are at a distance, too small
      • we cannot tell who you are, in a group photo
      • not all your face is visible
      • the picture is sexy, blowing kisses, too revealing, bedroom shot etc.
      • the picture has a large border on it
      • the picture is not vertical
      • the picture is too blurred
      • the picture is in negative
    • Public Gallery
      Here you can upload more pictures of yourself or you and your family / friends (please do not upload pictures with children under the age of 16 to your pubic gallery).
       
    • Private Gallery
      If you're camera-shy or just don't want to share your pictures with everyone you can post your pictures into your private gallery.

  4. My picture is too big. How do I resize it?
    When you upload your picture to your Single Muslim profile, it must be less than 2MB in size. Most digital cameras are capable of taking pictures much larger than this and therefore they must be reduced in size before being uploaded to your profile. For the web, pictures don't usually need to be any larger than 800 pixels.

    Although most image editing software is capable of resizing images, the following guide is for Microsoft Paint as the majority of PC's have this installed.
    1. Open Microsoft Paint from the Start Menu. This should be in All Programs, Accessories.
    2. Go to File, Open... and select the picture you'd like to resize.
    3. Select Image from the main menu, then Stretch/Skew.
    4. Enter the percentage to resize the image in both the Horizontal and Vertical fields. For example, entering 50% will make the image half the original size.
    5. Select File, Save As... to save your image to a new file. Make sure Save as type is set to JPEG and save the file as you would normally.
    6. Upload the new picture to your Single Muslim profile by logging in and selecting My Pictures.
    If you are still having problems with your picture, you can send it to us and, if we can, we will upload it to your profile for you.

  5. What is my Private Gallery and what pictures should I upload here?
    Your Private Gallery allows you to upload pictures which you only want to share with selected people.

    Users find this extremely helpful as they are still protected by the anonymity of Single Muslim, without having to reveal their email address in order to share private pictures.

    You can upload a variety of pictures here, as long as they comply with our image guidelines.

    To upload pictures to your Private Gallery, simply select My Pictures from the main menu and select the option to save these into your Private Gallery.

  6. Why does Single Muslim add a copyright notice to my images?
    When you upload your picture to Single Muslim, it is automatically watermarked with our website address and copyright (©) symbol.

    This is designed to improve your personal security, as it prevents other internet users from re-using your pictures on other websites and/or distributing them without your consent.

    For more information regarding this, please see section 15 in our website terms and conditions.

  7. I don't have a scanner or digital camera. How can I get my picture on my profile?
    If you don't have a digital camera or a scanner, you can post your picture to us and we'll scan and add it to your profile for free.

    Don't forget to send us your username or we won't be able to upload this for you.

    We will happily return your photograph if you include a stamped self addressed envelope.
