Introduction To Images
As the old adage goes "a picture is worth a thousand words" and Auctria provides for using images on the platform with items, as logos for donors, sponsors, and the organization as well as a means to provide decorative elements on your Auction Website.

Concepts
- Images
To further customize your auctions you can add images for the following items: Organization Logo; Auction Logo; Item Images; Donor Images; and, if a Sponsor, you can also add Bidder Images. - Image Sizes
In Auctria, Image Sizes (or "dimensions") can play a very important role where they are used. High resolution images are not necessary for Auction Website usage and will slow page loading times. - Image Type
Only JPEG (.jpg

) and PNG (.png
) file formats are currently accepted.

Items
- Images And Links
You can save and manage your item images on the Images/Links tab. These are the specific images associated with the item. You can set the default item image used as the primary display reference. Additional images can also be uploaded to automatically generate an image carousel on the Item Details website page.

Logos
- Bidder Details - Sponsor Logos
The IMAGES tab is only used when a Bidder purchases an item with the Is Sponsorship option checked. See How To Sell Sponsorships for more information on this.
Participant Images - Add Donors - Logos
The Logos section shows the images that have been uploaded for the Donors, such as a company logo or brand logo.INFORMATION
When you upload Donor Logos the system will resize them as necessary. An original source size of no more than 1000px works well; and, ideally, the logo should be "square" rather than wide and short, or tall and narrow.
- Add Images To Item Donors
One or more images may be added to each item donor record. By adding an image to a donor, that image will be available to be included in the auction catalog and on gift certificates. - Item Donor Details - Images Tab
The Images tab lets you upload an Item Donor Logo.
