Help with image uploads

  1. Find an appropriate image that will look good on one of our toga-toting characters (you will be able to crop, resize and rotate it in our tool once uploaded). You can use any image that you have created or taken yourself, one that is freely licensed or in the public domain.
  2. Be sure that the image is in a compatible format (check that the image ends in .JPG or .PNG). If your image is in another format (e.g., bitmap, or BMP), you must first convert it into one of the accepted formats using a program like Microsfot Paint (PC) or iPhoto (MAC).
  3. Save the image to a directory on your computer that is easy to find. You may find it helpful to give the image a descriptive name that will help you find it (e.g., "my_head.jpg"). Note that most digital cameras just create a filename like "IMG_23222.jpg."
  4. Click "I'm Done" below to close these instructions, then use the "Browse" button to locate your image, and then click the "Upload My Greek Athlete" button.
