Preparing Staff Photos

Do not upload staff photos in their original size as taken from your camera. They will likely be far too big and will cause the page to load slowly if they are not cropped and compressed first.

1. Crop your image using an editing application like Microsoft Paint or similar. We recommend cropping the photo to approx. 400x400 pixels in a .png format. Ensure all staff images are cropped to the same dimensions for consistency on the website.


2. Compress the image after you have cropped it. The following website will allow you to do this fairly easily for free- https://compressor.io, or you may choose another of your choice.


3. The image is now ready to upload to the website and new staff profile.

  Close the editor

It is important to follow these steps to avoid locking yourself out of future article edits.
