All photos will be approved before displaying on the site.
Approvals may take 24-48 hours. We do not work weekends.
Please upload a JPG, JPEG, BMP, or GIF image type.
Please upload your image of a maximum of 2MB (2,000,000 bytes) or less.
Images will be resized to be 15KB (15,000 bytes) or less.
Images will be cropped and/or resized to be 225w x 300h pixels (unless already smaller).
If you don't wish to risk having your photo cropped, then it must meet those requirements when uploaded.
Your PRIMARY image MUST be a clear ADULT photo of ONLY YOU, no other adults; not shirtless, no swimsuits.
For your security and to discourage photo theft by scammers, all photos will be marked with our logo.
Copyrighted materials are not allowed and will be deleted.
Please scroll to the bottom to see MORE photo rules and instructions.
We do not recommend having
children in your primary image, but if you have both parent's permission, that is allowed.
The Primary image is the one that displays in search results, and as the main photo in your profile.
You may rotate your Primary image with other photos in your
photo album by using the SET AS PRIMARY button, but it must be an ADULT photo of you.
*If your PRIMARY image uploads only partially or does not upload at all, please send ONE photo as an email file attachment to: support@christiansinglesdating.com - We will only upload ONE photo for you as a PRIMARY photo. If you already have a primary photo, please do not send us any others, as we do not have the staffing to handle the uploading of thousands of photos. We appreciate your help in this matter to keep our costs affordable.
We do not work from Friday afternoon through and including Sunday. It usually takes less than 48 hours for us to upload your photo, but may take as long as a week. Please do not repeatedly send the same photo or ask us the status repeatedly. Please view your profile from the PROFILE tab to see if it is uploaded, as it is not necessary to ask us. If you haven't seen your photo up within 3 days, you may email us and ask if it was received.
Only ONE adult is allowed in your primary photo. Shirtless or swim suit photos are not allowed as primary photos. Shirtless photos (men) are only allowed as secondary and only if they are from the neck up, or it is apparent that swimming is involved. Photos with inappropriate cleavage (women) will either be cropped or deleted. Please do not include children in your photos unless you have permission of both parents. We prefer not to have children in the primary photo. If a photo is too large and uploads only partially to where we can't crop it to look nice, we will delete it.
Optionally, you may mail ONE PRIMARY photo for us to scan, crop and upload. Mail to:
Shining Star Services LLC
P.O. Box 9028
Kansas City, KS 66112-9028
If you wish to have the photo returned, you MUST include a postage stamped, self-addressed
envelope in which to return the photo.
Photos WITHOUT postage and self-addressed
envelopes will NOT be returned and will be discarded.
Please DO NOT mail or email us several photos and ask us to select one. Please only send us ONE PRIMARY photo, unless you have included payment for additional images, as per below:

We provide means for members to upload their own photos. However, if your photo needs resized, cropped, or scanned, we will do this to ONE photo for free. You may email or postal mail it to us to be resized or scanned as per the above instructions.
If you have additional photos you would like to be resized, cropped or scanned, please mail us a U.S. Check or U.S. or Canadian Postal Money Order for $2 for each image emailed to us or $5 for each photo postal mailed to us (postal mail photos require scanning which is a more time-consuming process). If you have an existing Verisign credit card payment on file with us, we can add this amount to your existing card. Just let us know how you wish to proceed.
