Tips & Warnings

  • Most of the big Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide space to store pictures at no extra charge.

  • Make sure the picture is correctly sized. For the best results, keep the image to 300x300 pixels. The image will not fit if it is more than 480 pixels wide.

  • Image-hosting Web sites and eBay Picture Services charge a small fee to upload pictures to their sites.
