Additionally, here's a quick guide on how to add own photos to the character editor:

only format ----> .jpg
due to auto-adjusting, we recommend square resolution, for example 500x500
place a jpg photo in Portraits folder in the game's main folder, which usually is here: C:\Users\your user name\Documents\This War of Mine
restart the game after uploading photo to make the photo available in the editor
