Some websites may contain restrictions and security features that may prevent us from being able to pull the image into Trip Publisher. In this case, images will not appear or not upload successfully when using the Search Web function (showing a blank or broken image). 

If the image is not matching recommendations, it may not upload or display correctly:

Orientation: Landscape
Minimum Width: 750 Pixels (1640 px or 1920 px recommended)
Maximum Height: 450 Pixels (for best results)
File Format: JPG or PNG

Enter a keyword and search unsplash.com or pexels.com (a source of freely-usable images) for great cover photo options!

Upload

1. Select the Upload tab.
2. Click Choose Photos to Upload and then search for the image on your computer/device.
3. Click Upload Photos.

Photo Cropping

Once you have selected a photo from either Search Photo Library or Search Web you can crop the photo by choosing Crop Image. This will allow you to select the part of the image you would like featured on the web view and pdf itinerary.

Next, drag the cropping window to the desired location, or use the cropping handles in any corner to adjust the cropped size. Once complete, click Upload to add your photo.

The default aspect ratio of 16:9 is maintained. It is recommended that the chosen photo is in landscape and high resolution. Selecting a smaller area of the photo will likely result in the photo appearing blurry within Trip Publisher.
