How To Prepare Images for Your Website

Images on the Internet must have high enough resolution to look great on the Internet, but be small in file size so your web pages will load quickly. Therefore, all images must be “optimized” or “prepared” before you upload your images into your image gallery within the PD-go!^® System. To successfully upload a new image, the image file must meet the following requirements:

Image size:  No larger than a maximum width or height of 500 pixels
File type:  .jpg or .gif  We do not recommend or support graphics saved in any other format for use on the web.

Reizing and  Cropping Your Images:
To prepare images yourself, you'll need a graphic design software program, (Many digital cameras and scanners come with basic image editing software, however not all are of professional quality that is required for a professional looking website.) 

We highly recommend Pixler.com an image editor that is free and easy to use is available online at  http://pixlr.com/editor
