    We recommend to upload photos in JPG format, and all other images, e.g. logo’s, in PNG format. PNG files support transparency, which is desirable for images such as logo’s.
  4. When you click on an image, an example of the image will appear. Here, you can rotate the image of give it another color (grayscale/sepia) before uploading the image.
    Other adjustments to the image, such as cropping, are not possible here. If you want to make other adjustments, you need to make them with a program on your computer and upload the image to the File Application again. If you work with Windows, you can use the Photos application, and for Mac, you can use Preview.
  5. To confirm, click ‘Choose this file’. You will then see several options to determine the size of the image. You can choose small, medium or large. Larger images cost more time when loading a web page.
  6. There are some other properties that can be adjusted in this screen, but these are optional.
  7. You can enter a description of the image in the field labeled ‘Alternative text’. This is convenient for search engines but also for people with a visual impairment.
