Preparing Your Image For Online Viewing
Prior to uploading your photo or artwork it is recommended that you resize it to 840 pixels in width. This is optional, you can have the site do it for you automatically. Your upload should be a .jpg or .gif file. View step-by-step instructions on resizing your image here.
Software is available (for free) that allows you to open your work, resize it, and save it for online posting.
For simple editing and resizing we recommend downloading one of the tools listed below if you do not already have a tool available to edit and resize your work.
IrfanView
A free utility. 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.

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.
