Image Upload Guidelines for Vyasa Puja Homages
Thank you for contributing to Srila Prabhupada's Vyasa Puja book! To ensure your images display correctly and maintain the quality of our website, please follow these guidelines:
1. Image Content:
-
Relevance:
Images should be directly related to your homage or article. This could include photos of spiritual events, artwork, or anything that enhances your submission.
-
Please ensure images are respectful and appropriate for a devotional website.
-
Copyright:
Only upload images you have the right to use. Do not use copyrighted images without permission. If you use images from other sources, please credit them appropriately if needed.
2. Technical Specifications:
-
File Format:
We recommend using JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg) or PNG (.png) files. These formats provide a good balance of quality and file size.
-
File Size:
Please keep file sizes as small as possible to ensure fast loading times. Aim for under 1MB.
-
You can use online image compression tools to reduce file size without significantly impacting quality (e.g., TinyPNG, Squoosh).
-
Image Dimensions:
While the website will resize images, providing images with reasonable dimensions will improve display quality.
-
If possible, provide images with a width of at least 1000 pixels.
-
Avoid uploading very small images that will pixelate when enlarged.
-
Resolution:
For web display, a resolution of 72 dpi (dots per inch) is sufficient. Higher resolutions are unnecessary and will increase file size.
3. Image/Video File Naming:
-
Descriptive Names:
Use descriptive filenames that reflect the image content. Please add your name, city, and country to the file name.
-
Example: "Krishna das-London-UK.jpg"
-
Avoid Special Characters:
Please avoid using special characters or spaces in filenames. Use hyphens or underscores instead.
4. Image Quality:
-
Clarity:
Ensure images are clear and not blurry or pixelated.
-
Lighting and Composition:
If possible, please provide images with good lighting and composition.
