What type of visual materials can I upload to my business account?

Within the business account you will have clear indication of the sizes and formats. Generally, all images of less than 500kb in a jpg format can be uploaded for the following sections:

  1. Logo (download a sample),
  2. Cover Photo (download a sample),
  3. Photo Gallery (download a sample)
  4. Profile Photo (download a sample)

The reason we limit the file size to 500kb is for optimal loading speed. It is important that your business page has as short as possible loading time. If possible it is even better if the jpg is progressive. A person with general knowledge of graphics will be able to save the image as progressive. Other visual or graphic options for your Premium and Premium+ listings are:

  1. YouTube link can be included in the field "Video".
  2. Dedicated Banner Creation (download a sample).
