# MinSize

The minimum size (diameter) of a face.

Media Server does not attempt to detect faces that are smaller than the specified size. Increasing the minimum size can increase processing speed.

Specify a value followed by the units that you want to use:

- `percent` or `%` - Percentage of the smallest image or video dimension (width or height).
- `pixels` or `px` - Number of pixels.

Type: | Integer
Default: | 48 pixels
Allowed Range: | Minimum: 24 pixels
Required: | No
Configuration Section: | TaskName
Example: | To ignore faces smaller than 300 pixels in size: `MinSize=300 pixels` To ignore faces smaller than 10% of the smallest image dimension (width or height). `MinSize=10%`
