Can I edit my photos before I upload them?
For best results, you should not manipulate your images prior to uploading them to our site. Simply upload the best photos you have.

What file formats do you recommend?
JPG, JPEG (most digital cameras use this format)

What size photos should I upload?
Most cameras have settings to control photo size. Select a size or quality setting that makes the image 640x480 or larger for best results- but under 2MB file size per image. Keep in mind, we resize and optimize all images for presentation and speed on our site.

Should I worry about resolution?
A higher or finer resolution produces a better image quality, but it creates a larger image file. Larger image files take a long time to upload on a slow connection. If you have DSL or a cable modem, you can upload your image as it is since upload speed should be fast. If you have a dial-up connection, you may want to try reducing the quality setting on your camera to create a smaller file.

Digital cameras have different features for controlling the quality and resolution. Please consult your owner's manual to determine which settings work best.

How long will it take for my images to appear on the site?
Your photo will be reviewed by our staff before posting. If the submission passes our inspection, it will most likely be posted within 5 business days.
