Upload an image

For room images, voucher images and rate or special offer Images, four versions of the same image are needed in the following sizes:

  1. 1600 x 1200 pixels

  2. 800 x 600 pixels

  3. 400 x 300 pixels

  4. 120 x 90 pixels

🤓Tip: You need to upload images at 1600×1200 or larger and the Mediacenter will then resize the image to the smaller sizes listed above via the crop function.
It is not possible to resize a smaller image up to a larger size.

Mediacenter home screen

The home screen of the Mediacenter application allows you to:

  • Quickly Search for an existing image, gallery or folder.

  • Edit an existing gallery.

  • Upload an image to a specific image gallery.

  • Edit an existing image.

  • Use the prominent links on the right hand side of the screen to quickly upload new images to specific categories.

  • Create a new folder or gallery.

If you want to move images from one gallery to another, you can drag the image from its current gallery to any gallery which you have access to. This is useful if there are common images that you share with other hotels for group properties, or if you just want to reorganise your Mediacenter.


Upload a new image

Follow the steps below to upload a new image to the MediaCenter.

  1. Go to the MediaCenter.

    • Use Quick Links on the right hand side of the screen to select the category you wish to upload the image to or to create a new folder for the image.

    • You can also add an image directly to an existing gallery. To do this click new image on the gallery itself.

  2. Click Upload.

    • Select the Upload button for the category.

    • Choose the image file from your computer.

      You can drag images from your computer to the designated area in the upload screen or you can click on the designated area and browse images which are saved within your computer files. If you have image content copied to your clipboard, you can paste directly from the clipboard to the upload screen using CTRL+V.

  3. Resize Image.

    • You can upload one image at a time.

    • Only the most recent image will be displayed.

    • An image uploaded in one of the recommended sizes will be automatically scaled down to all relevant images sizes.

    • If an image is uploaded that is not in one of the recommended sizes, a crop option will appear to allow the image to be resized.

    • After an image is cropped, it is automatically scaled to all relevant image sizes and the original image is removed.

  4. Add image details.

    • Give the image a clear name for easy identification later.

    • Optionally, include alt text and keywords if available.

  5. Assign the Image.

    • Once uploaded, you can assign it to room types, packages, or upsells as needed.

    • To do this check the applicable Tag & Search categories. The category will already be preselected for you, i.e. rate image = offer category. We recommend you select Room, Offer and Voucher.

  6. Save the image.

    • Click save changes to complete the upload.

⚠️Warning: Images must have a file size limit of 512kb.
