Q2. How do I upload images and videos?
Answer: You may upload any image file (photographs, drawings, sketches, computer graphics, etc), in JPEG or GIF formats, up to 10 images for each project you create. For best results, your image should be sized 300x300. You can use Adobe Photoshop or a similar program to convert to JPEG or TIF file format, adjust the image size, crop it or alter its appearance. If you do not have Photoshop, follow the link for Paint.net, a free image editing software that you can download to your computer.
Videos are a fantastic medium for showcasing your project. The Plinth portfolio supports video in .mov or .qt QuickTime format. For best results your videos should be under 30MB
