    IMPORTANT: We can’t include any imagery that you don't have the permission to use. Please do not upload images you have found on Google, as these will very likely belong to someone and you will be liable if any legal notices come in.

    Minimum Sizes & Tips

    Where possible try and make sure your photos are well lit and in focus.

    Ideally all photography will be in landscape, wider than they are tall. Preferred sizes no smaller than 1080px × 720px at 72dpi, with a minimum file size of 200kb. You can still upload files larger than this, however the form will take a little longer to submit as it takes longer to process larger images.

    The support images you provide can be smaller than the supplied featured image. However, please be aware we can make images smaller for the website, however enlarging very small photographs will degrade and blur the image quality significantly and reflect badly on your business.
