What Can You Upload?
With a Premier account, you can upload jpgs and pngs. With a Basic account you can upload jpgs. The file size for your image must be less than 10 MB and the dimensions must be less than 4800 x 4800 pixels.

To Upload Photos
Organize your photos into folders and albums. To start a new folder, click on the button "new folder," and name it. Photos live in albums, so add albums to your folders by clicking on the "new album" button. Fill with photos by clicking on the "add more photos" button and navigating to the photos stored on your computer. Hold the SHIFT key down to select multiple photos. Press the "Open" button and your photos will load into the album you selected for them.

Rearranging Photos and Albums
You can easily arrange and rearrange your photos and albums with just a click of a button. Move a photo from one folder to another with the "move" button. Turn a Vacation folder into a Reunion folder by using the "rename" button or move it to another album using "move."

Shared Albums
All shared photos appear in the Shared Albums folder. Because these photos are shared by another user, you cannot move the albums or photos. However, you may delete albums. Doing so will not affect the photos in the sharer's albums or projects.

Want to Name Your Photos?
Double click on a photo to add a title or caption. Title Example: Saving the Easter Bunny. Caption: Brian thought dad really ate the Easter Bunny and was ready to use the plunger to save him.


Want your Photos to appear in chronological order? 
Name the photos, albums, and/or folders by date first. For example: "2011-12-25 Christmas with the in-laws"

Want to Download a Photo onto your own computer?
Double click a photo in order to download a high resolution image. This will open the photo in a new tab or window in FULL resolution, where you can then right-click to save.
