There are 3 different ways and locations to which you, your staff, and community can upload photos to different categories. Be advised you will only be able to upload photos that have a file type of .jpg, .jpeg, and .png. (Note: Uploading content that is unsupported by our site may result in corrupted files.) Follow these steps to successfully upload and manage your photos.
- Click the “Upload Photos” option from the “Upload” tab drop down menu. You may also click the “Manage” tab, select “Manage Photos” and click the “Upload New Photos” button. A pop up will appear.
- Choose the category you wish to upload your photos to by clicking on the “— Select Category —“ drop down menu. If you don’t have any categories you may need to click the “+Category” button.
- From the folder containing your picture files, simply select the photos that you wish to upload then drag and drop them into the uploader where it says “Drag Photos Here“. You may also select your files by clicking on the “Browse” button. (Note: The Drag Photos Here area is grayed out and won’t work unless there is a category selected.)
- You can select multiple photos and upload them at the same time. The pictures will automatically upload once dragged/selected! (Note: It’s best to store your photos in a familiar location on your computer.) You can see a green check mark on the side of each photo when the upload is successful.
