How to use the file uploader

This advanced yet easy to use file uploader can send thousands of files and folders in a single transfer.

1. PREPARATION Please prepare a new folder - on your desktop would be a good idea. Please name it with your name, NOT something like 'My JPEGs', as we use this to match your files with your order. Copy the images you wish to have converted into slides into this folder. While we accept any type of file please, please just upload JPEGs, saved as high quality (8 - 10 in PhotoShop). There is NO technical advantage in sending TIFFs or PSDs, they just waste bandwidth and take a long time to upload.

2. TRANSFER Now drag and drop your folder of images onto the panel on the right and they will be uploaded automatically. The optional browse button is for users who prefer to navigate to the files instead. You will see a progress bar and small thumbnails as your images pass to our server. When the images have uploaded you will be sent to a confirmation screen and later, when we have visually examined the images, we will send you an email to say all is well.

Technical note: This is a cross-platform Java scripted FTP transfer program that allows your browser to pass your images directly to our server. This script is covered by security certificates - when starting this page you may get a warning from your browser that displays the security certificates. Please click on 'Always' to accept the certification. Some computer configurations/firewalls/security software makes this method of uploading difficult, particularly those using company/university/cyber-cafe computers or for those folk who are completley paranoid about computer safety or don't know how to configure their computers.
