Upload Images

Image Size Recommendations

 

Image Sizes for Web Delivery should be less than 50k (50,000bytes) per image, with a recommended size of 35k (35,000bytes). This is the optimal delivery size for most full sized images. Images should ideally be no larger than 400x600 pixels portrait or 600x400 pixels landscape. Smaller widths are recommended for landscape orientations.
Images should be uploaded only in 72dpi. Images that are uploaded in 300dpi will be approx 4 times larger in a browser than in your image editing application.

To avoid you're images being deleted, we suggest that you following these guidelines:

 

Content Guidelines


When uploading images please remember that Model Pictures is a community of young teens as well as adults and as such ALL Adult oriented content (hustler style, or sexually explicit images, images showing genitalia, images involving sexual instruments, scenes depicting sex or extreme subjects etc.), are just not appropriate on the site and you should not attempt to upload them.

Nudity (glamour style etc.) and artistic nudity are wonderful art forms - they have and always will be very welcome on this site - they often show a models or photographers range and interest and are often a deciding factor in a photographers decision to work with a model or not, and vice versa. So it's fine to have nude images as part of a portfolio.

Since, content of an adult or sexually explicit nature is not welcome or appropriate on this site several things will occur if attempts are made to upload inappropriate images. The images will be deleted, the profile may be suspended or disabled, and access to upload images will be removed. If you have any questions regarding what is appropriate or not please contact us

Image Type Recommendations


It is highly recommended that you upload jpeg images (.JPG files). Other file formats are generally much larger for the same image size because they do not employ any compression to the image. Two file formats that are not recommended are GIF Files and BMP files (the later is a windows native format and many Microsoft programs save this format as a default).
Images that are oversized will be resized by the Site Administrators. This often means that .gif and .bmp files end up very small looking because to reach the recommended file size the image will need far more shrinking than a .jpg file would.

Image Review
All images on Model Pictures are reviewed by the Site Administrators. Please make sure that you read the image upload guidelines carefully, and pay particular attention to the image restrictions regarding appropriate content.
