Tips for Photos for Promotional Purposes
All events require high-quality, high-resolution photography for email newsletters, calendar listings and social postings. Here are some tips for sharing the best photos with our team:
- The best file size is more than 2MB and larger is ideal.
- Do not resize or resample the photo before submitting. Our team can crop, adjust and edit, as needed.
- If you are transferring photos from your phone, transfer at the highest resolution possible or “original.”
- Do not send a photo that has come from a text. Text messaging compresses photos.
- If the photo is online, please try to acquire the original photo. Photos, specifically headshots, are hard to resize if they are pulled from a website due to photo compression.
- For a physical photo, you can use your phone to take a photo of the photo (one at a time), or use a scanner (set to photograph/picture mode) and send multiples.
- Send each as an individual file.
- Do not insert photos into a Word or PowerPoint file.
- Do not send photography of which you don’t know the source. If it is stock, or suspected of being stock, our team cannot use it.
- Worried the files are too large to email? No worries! It’s a good indication that they’re high resolution. Share them in a Box in your Monday request.
