Uploading a picture for an item
Access: Menu Administrator
A good photo attracts buyers to your item, so make sure it's doing a great job for you — the shop is highly visual, and the images you choose matter.
Tips:
- Include a photo for every item.
- Use high-resolution, landscape photos where possible — aim for at least 500 x 500 pixels.
- If photographing on a phone, hold it in landscape.
- See Photographing for the internet and Photographing food for more guidance.
Opening the Choose image dialog
There are two ways to get to the Choose image dialog:
- In the Item editor, select the category the item is in, then select the item's image directly in the list (without selecting the edit pencil icon).
- Select the edit icon under Actions, next to the item you want to update. In the item details, select the image placeholder or the Choose icon button next to it.
Both opens the same Choose image dialog.
Uploading or choosing an image
- To upload your own photo, select Upload a new image, then drag and drop your file or select choose a file.
Note: accepted formats are JPG and PNG. Large images are resized automatically, so there's no need to resize a photo yourself before uploading. - Alternatively, choose a preset image from the categories shown (From Other Items, Sports, Art, Performing Arts, Food, PIF, or General).
- Select Save to apply the image to the item.
- Select Save draft to save your changes without publishing them yet, or Save & publish to apply the image to the item. This applies whichever way you opened the Choose image dialog.
Save & publish only makes the image visible to families if the item's service is already open. If this is a newly created item or category, publishing here only saves it to the item — the item still needs to be pulled forward with opening and closing dates in Service Manager. See Creating a new item for details.
