Largest IRCON Works Engineer photo under 2 MB
The IRCON Works Engineer source gives a file-size limit but no pixel size for the photo. Measured on a public-domain portrait, a 7:9 (35 × 45 mm shape) JPG at quality 85 stays under 2 MB up to about 3,696 × 4,752 px (1.91 MB), so a typical 12 MP phone photo (4,032 × 3,024 px) already fits at quality 85; only larger camera files need scaling down.
