Upload clipart



There are 2 options to upload clipart:

Option 1
Go to Clipart page
Click on New Category button
In New Category pop-up, fill in the Title, select the parent category and click OK to create new category.


The system will automatically assign the default parent Root (placing the newly created category at the outermost level). Alternatively, you can choose a specific parent category for the newly created Category, making it a subcategory of the selected parent.


Click on the newly created category and start uploading cliparts using one of the following two methods:
- Click on Add new to upload one or more photos.




- Click on Import from folder to upload clipart in folder format.




Option 2
Go to Clipart page
Click on Import from folder to upload clipart in folder format



Note: A folder can only contain multiple images or subfolders within, not both.

Size limit for Cliparts: The maximum size is 64 megabytes (MB) per clipart (recommend size < 32MB). Each Clipart cannot exceed 64 megapixels. (You can calculate megapixel by multiplying the height with the width of image. For example: an image is 8000x5000 px --> 40 megapixels)

Import from zip file



Zip file requirements



The folders must be zipped into a .zip file (no .rar or .7z files). Currently, only .zip files are supported.
Format of zip file:
Cliparts:
- The zip file needs to include a folder named "Cliparts".
- The "Cliparts" folder can either contain multiple images or subfolders inside, but not both.
E.g.,

Cliparts and thumbnails:
- If you want to upload thumbnails for the cliparts in the "Cliparts" folder, you need to create a folder named "Thumbnails" within the zip file.
- The "Thumbnails" folder must have the same directory structure as the "Cliparts" folder.
- For the thumbnails to display correctly for the corresponding cliparts, the thumbnail file names must exactly match the clipart file names.
E.g.,

Cliparts and Thumbnails folders must be placed in the root directory of the zip file.


Images within the clipart category will be sorted alphabetically.
The maximum size allowed is 1 GB.
If the zip file has a different structure, the upload will fail.
