Steps:
- Open the Image Library from Create > Image Library.
- Expand the image category (i.e. Activity or Portrait) and select the folder you want to upload.
- Click Upload in the upper right-hand corner.
- Click Upload Images and choose which images to upload. The green bar shows your progress.
- The Upload Wizard will close once the image is done uploading.
Are there any image guidelines?
- .JPG, .TIF .PNG and HEIC files only.
- The minimum resolution is 300 dpi or ppi.
- High-resolution files are recommended. If you are scanning photos, use 400–500 dpi.
- If you are using a digital camera, set it to the highest resolution setting.
- The maximum file size is 50 MB.
- The maximum image size is 10,000 pixels x 10,000 pixels.
- RGB file format only (no CMYK).
- Do not alter the resolution of your image in a photo editing software program. Doing this may allow you to place an image in a larger photo box, but it may also result in a poor-quality print.
- Screenshots from cell phones cannot be uploaded.
iPhone images not appearing?
- Sometimes HEIC photos may have the .jpg at the end of the file name. This may be why your image is not uploaded. Change the .jpg to .HEIC and try again.
How do I use images on my pages?
From the Page Designer / Images button, find your category and then drag and drop. You'll need to move any Inbox Staff images to categories in order to use them on pages.
Why does my upload take so long?
The more images you select at one time, or the larger the image size, the longer it will take to upload. Upload speeds are about twice as long as download speeds. Your internet connection, antivirus software, or network filters can affect this.
Can I upload Portrait images?
If you have just a few Portraits, upload to Inbox Staff, drag the Portrait to the teacher/room/grade where the student belongs, and don't forget to add the student's name to the People tab when your upload is complete.
If you have an entire portrait disc, send those to us for upload.

Instructions will vary depending upon the device you're using. It's always best to search your device manufacturer's support documents or speak to your wireless company representative when retrieving or backing up images so that no data is lost. These folks are the experts when it comes to your specific device.
TIP: Do you have a backup copy of your personal images somewhere other than your phone? Most phones allow you to back up to the cloud or have a program to back up to your computer.
