How do I upload images?
Image Dimensions: 640x480
Digital photo should be 640x480 pixels or smaller. Please resize larger images proportionately. A larger image may appear distorted, or may not appear at all.
File Size: Smaller is Better
Prospective buyers may not wait for a large file to download so keep your photo's file size under 100KB. (File sizes are listed next to file names in your computer's directory. If you cannot see them, select "View" from the directory's menu and then select "Details" to display.)
File Format: JPEGS Only
To provide prospective buyers with the best possible quality images, please ensure your photo file is in JPEG format (i.e. a file name that ends with '.jpg'). Note that renaming a file other than a JPEG to give it the suffix .jpg is not sufficient to display it (see 'How to Resize and Reformat Photos' below). A file in a format other other than a JPEG will not appear at all.
File Naming Conventions
Please name your image files as follows: Vehicle make and model followed the '.jpg' suffix. Use underscores rather than spaces. Do not use special characters (&, /, $, etc). An example of an appropriate file name is: "honda_accord.jpg".
How to Resize and Reformat Photos
Photo file sizes are affected by factors such as image size and resolution (image quality). Some image-editing programs allow JPEG files to be saved in various qualities. The lower the quality, the smaller the file size. Follow these guidelines to keep your file size low.
