Below you will find out the main requirements for uploading media such as photos, logos and videos, as well as how to do it directly in our platform or via the bulk import feature.
Photos and Logos
If you would like to add photos for an individual location, you can do so under Locations > Photos & Videos.
Managing Photos in the UI
Uploading Photos
Photo files can be uploaded into the platform by dragging and dropping or browsing your computer for the selected files.
Moving a Photo Between Albums
Photos can be moved from one album to another by:
- Hover over the photo to be moved
- Clicking on the eye icon on the image
- Selecting the album the photo should be moved to within the modal that opens
Change the Order of Photos Within and Album
The order of photos within an album are the order they are sent to the directories. Since it may be helpful to have higher visibility for certain photos, users can use the six dot icon at the bottom left of an image (when hovered over) to drag and drop images within an album to rearrange their order.
Requirements
The formats and file sizes depend on the type of photo you wish to upload:
Some directories have limits on photo sizes that are less than those above. For these directories, we automatically compress the photos to fit the directory's requirements so that they will be accepted.
Bulk Import
If your photos are publicly hosted on a server and each photo contains an individual URL, you can easily insert those URLs into the import file (Excel sheet) and import it.
Several URLs per location can be inserted in the corresponding cell, as long as they are separated by a comma.
There is no limitation from our platform on the number of imported photos, although some directories may impose limits.
Videos
Adding Video URLS
Video URLs can also be added for an individual location in our platform under Locations > Photos & Videos.
Add the link in the field "Video-URL" and, if applicable, add a description in the field "Video Description".
You can upload more than one video by clicking on "+ Add video".
Uploading Video Files
Video files can also be added for an individual location in our platform under Locations > Photos & Videos.
Upload the file on the "Upload File" tab and, if applicable, add a description in the field Video Description".
You can upload more than one video by clicking on "+ Add video".
Requirements
For adding video URLs, the only requirement is the video must be either from YouTube or Vimeo, since we currently only support those.
For uploading video files, the requirements are:
| Type | Format | File Size | Quality |
| Video | MP4 | Up to 100MB | - Up to 30 seconds long - Minimum: 720p |
Bulk Import
You can also upload one or more video URLs via the import file (Excel sheet), for one or several locations. Please follow the steps below:
- First ensure that the video is added to YouTube or Vimeo
- Copy the video's URL
- Please add the word YOUTUBE or VIMEO into the field relating to the column "videoType1" in the Excel file (to specify the source of the link)
- Then, paste the URL into the respective field, under the column called "videoUrl1" in the Excel file
- Optionally, a description can be added into the corresponding cell under "videoDescription1" (max. 255 characters).
- Save the data and upload the updated Excel template on Locations > Import.
