Technical Stuff

  1. All photos should be original, meaning you need to have taken them yourself. 
  2. Photos should be in a "jpeg" format. This is the most common photo format. If you see an extension of your photo file that says "tif," "gif," "bmp," or something else, look for a way to save your photo in a "jpeg" or "jpg" format.
  3. Photos should be saved, if possible, at a medium size and a "resolution" of 72 dpi. If you do not know or have the ability to do this, don't worry too much. Our system does some "crunching" for you. But the smaller the size of your image, the quicker it will upload to our site.
