Add photos to an item

Photos are what make a catalogue recognizable at a glance. This page covers uploading photos to an item, ordering them, and choosing the cover.

Photos attach to the item, not to a single copy. They describe what the thing looks like, which is the same for every copy. Paperwork about one specific copy (a receipt, a certificate, a condition photo tied to one copy) belongs in that copy's documents instead.

Upload photos

While adding or editing an item, use the photo area to upload one or more images.

• Formats. JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF.
• Size. Up to 10 MB per photo.

Choose the main photo

When an item has several photos, one of them is the main photo, the cover shown in grids and lists. The first photo takes that role by default; pick a different one whenever you like. You can also reorder the photos so the extras appear in the order you want.

Removing a photo

You can delete a photo from the item at any time.

Managing photos in bulk

Every photo across your whole account can be searched, filtered, and managed from one screen, the photo library. That is also the only place with bulk actions. See Browse and manage your photo library.

Where to next

• Record the copies behind the pictures: Track the copies you own.
