It's always a good idea to upload images of your venue or facility, because as everyone knows, a picture is worth a thousand words.

If you use imagery, please ensure you have permission to use it to promote your venue or facility and credit the image if applicable.

What size images can be uploaded to a facility/venue?

Because large images increase web page load times, the limit for uploading image files for address listings is 120 KB per image. A file size of around 100 KB is completely sufficient for a representative presentation on the Internet.

Please be sure to include the copyright information. If you are not sure who owns the copyright, better not post the picture.

The pictures for my address entry are not displayed. Why is that?

If you upload images, make sure that the button "released for general use" is activated. If the image is not activated by the red dot, it will not be published publicly and will not be forwarded to data partners.
