NOTE: When you upload any digital photo to your online account, only a copy of it is placed in your account. The original digital photo file remains unchanged on your computer. You can upload photos from your computer's hard drive, from a floppy disk, from a CD-ROM, or directly from a digital camera connected to your computer.

You can copy the following types of digital photos from your computer to your online account:
JPEG (.jpg, .jpeg, .jpe)

Your computer may be set to hide file extension at the end of file names. If the names of your files don't end with a dot and a three- or four-letter extension (.jpg, .zip, etc.) this setting is easy to change:

For PC users:
1. Return to your computer's desktop and double click on the 'My Computer' icon.
2. When the window is open, click on the 'View' menu and choose 'Folder Options'.
3. Click on the 'View' tab at the top of the window.
4. Uncheck the box labeled 'Hide file extensions for known file types' and click on the 'OK' button.

We recommend using files no larger than 10 Megabytes.

Resolution is an indication of the quality of your photos. The higher the resolution, the clearer and more detailed your photo -- and the more options you have for printing or creating photo gifts.

Every digital image is made up of pixels, or tiny, light-sensitive squares. The number of pixels determines the resolution. The more pixels your photo has, the clearer your photo remains as you increase its size (for prints) or print it on a gift. At the same time, the greater the resolution, the more memory is required to store the image. Most digital cameras allow you to change the resolution, so you can select the quality of your photos as you take them.

We recommend an image size of 1400x1050 pixels.

Please note that we always check the resolution of every photo before you order a print or photo gift. If we think the photo isn't large enough to produce a quality image, we'll let you know.

We offer free, storage of your online photos. At this time - there is no limit to the number of digital photos you can upload.
