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:

  1. Check size – use an editor (e.g., GIMP, Paint.NET) to resize so it’s < 128 KB.
  2. Confirm format – convert to .png or .jpg if needed.
  3. Re‑upload the resized file and copy its direct URL again.

Quick Checklist

  • [ ] URL starts with http:// or https://
  • [ ] Direct link to image (no redirects)
  • [ ] Extension is one of: png, jpg, jpeg, gif, svg
  • [ ] File size < 128 KB

Follow these steps and your images will display correctly every time. Happy uploading!
