There are two alternatives for adding an image to your website.
1. Provide an image of your own
Your image must be approved by the Office of Marketing and Communications before you can add the image to your site. Once Marketing has approved your image, you can then add it to your website. Web Services does ask that you compress your image (so it is not too large to load on the page) before adding it to your website.
Here is a list of instructions on how to compress an image.
1. Open this page in your browser: https://tinypng.com/
2. Drag and drop the image you need to compress
3. Select download
4. The compressed image will be in the download folder in your computer and it is ready to be
uploaded into WCMS
If you need assistance, please contact us at iunhelp@iun.edu; Web Services will be happy to assist you.
2. Use an image from the IU Northwest Flickr site. Our Flickr site has many different images to choose from, and these images have already been approved by Office of Marketing and Communications.
- Select the image you want to use
- Choose the size of the image
- Download the image
For any questions regarding Flickr, Contact the Office of Marketing andCommunications at [[marcom]]
3. You can request a photo for your website through the New website or Significant Request form.
