Not sure where the idea that public keyservers strip photo ids is from.
That was a problem with older PKS servers, but the current SKS photos
handle all aspects of V4 keys just fine.
PGP specifies 120x144 as the maximum image resolution while GPG
recommends the usage of 240x288. You'll need to size the image yourself
beforehand.
Most folks recommend keeping the size down to 4K-6K which favors JPEG.
RFC 4880 only mentions JPEG.
Open a command window/shell prompt. Run the command
gpg --edit-key <keyID> addphoto
GnuPG will then ask you for the filename of your JPEG image. Specify the
complete path.
