Image Upload Guidelines
These rules help keep your images looking great on our site.
Follow them and you’ll avoid common problems like broken links or “Image not processed” errors.
1. Valid Image URLs
| Requirement | What to do |
|---|---|
| Protocol | Must start with http:// or https://. Example: https://www.example.com/image/1.jpg |
| File format | Acceptable extensions: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .svg |
| Size limit | Under 128 KB (≈ 131 072 bytes). |
| Direct link | The URL must point straight to the image file – no redirects or page wrappers. |
Invalid URLs are automatically removed during routine clean‑ups.

3. Hosting Your Own Images
We don’t host images, but you can use any reputable service that gives you a direct image link. Common options:
| Service | How to get the URL |
|---|---|
| Imgur (image only) | Upload → click “Copy Link” → paste |
| Flickr | View photo → right‑click → “Copy Image Address” |
| Discord | Paste an image in a channel, then open the image and copy the url. |
| Cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox) | Share as public → get direct link |
Tip: After uploading, right‑click the image and choose “Copy Image Address.” Paste that URL into either the Image URL or Faction Image URL field.
4. Handling “Image Not Processed”

If you see this error:
- Check size – use an editor (e.g., GIMP, Paint.NET) to resize so it’s < 128 KB.
- Confirm format – convert to
.pngor.jpgif needed. - Re‑upload the resized file and copy its direct URL again.
Quick Checklist
- [ ] URL starts with
http://orhttps:// - [ ] Direct link to image (no redirects)
- [ ] Extension is one of: png, jpg, jpeg, gif, svg
- [ ] File size < 128 KB
- [ ] URL copied from the image itself (right‑click → “Copy Image Address”)
Follow these steps and your images will display correctly every time. Happy uploading!
