Adding photos and albums

Help Center article · Updated March 18, 2008

A single picture

Drag the Picture element onto your page and click Upload. You can upload JPG, GIF and PNG files up to 5 MB each. Click on the picture afterwards to add a caption, a link or a border.

Photo albums

  1. Drag the Photo Gallery element onto your page.
  2. Click Add Photos. Hold down the Ctrl key (Command on a Mac) to choose up to 50 photos at once.
  3. Wait for the upload to finish. Large photos are resized automatically.
  4. Choose how many thumbnails to show in each row and whether visitors see a slideshow when they click.

Tips

  • Photos straight from a digital camera can be very large. Uploads are faster over a high-speed connection.
  • Free sites have 250 MB of storage, which is about 1,000 photos.
  • Only upload photos you took yourself or have permission to use.
