Preparing Your Image For Online Viewing
Prior to uploading your photo or artwork it is recommended that you resize it to 700 pixels in width. This is optional (but recommended). Your upload should be a .jpg or .gif file.
Software is available (for free) that allows you to open your work, resize it, and save it for online posting.
Image Resizer
If using a PC we recommend Image Resizer. To resize your image choose "JPG" from the tab view and enter "700" for the pixels. Next, choose "Resize". Your image will be created (with a different name from the original) in the folder you selected the original image in.

IrfanView
A free utility with more features. To resize an image with IrfanView select "Image" and "Resize/Resample" from the menu system after opening your image. Next, save this resized copy as a .jpg or .gif file onto your computer. Use that copy to upload to the site. We provide a tutorial here.

After you have converted your image click here to post artwork, click here to post a photo, or click here to create a book of work. If the site informs you that the file size is too large save the file again as a .jpg and lower the quality of the image.
The site will prompt you for the image to post. Just follow the on-screen instructions to select it from your computer.
