How do I Upload Images?

Viewbook supports uploads via the Image Manager and with our upload tools. Simply login to your Viewbook account and click the big 'Upload' button. To upload images inside a presentation, choose a presentation first, then click the 'Upload images' button on top of the middle window.

Note: You can upload multiple images at once! To select more than one image to upload, hold down the SHIFT or CTRL (or on Mac the COMMAND) key and select your images.

Note: If your images are quite big (more than 1MB) you can resize them first to achieve faster upload speeds.


The order of images when uploading
Viewbook uploads your images in alphabetical order. This means that you must number your images correctly to maintain the correct order:

01_filename.jpg 
02_filename.jpg 
11_filename.jpg 
12_filename.jpg 
21_filename.jpg 
22_filename.jpg 

And if you upload more than 100 images: 

001_filename.jpg 
002_filename.jpg 
110_filename.jpg 
112_filename.jpg 
121_filename.jpg 


Other Upload tools

You can also use any of the Desktop and Export upload tools that work with Viewbook. Visit the tools page.

Do you have the Flash Player installed?

I've got flash - I was using Firefox. Then switched to Chrome - still doesn't work.

I then switched to my PC laptop - and it worked.

I would like to use Viewbook on my Linux 64b desktop - will you please fix this?

Thanks.

To be honest I have no idea why it does not work on your Linux distro.... Looks like something with the Flash player.

I am using the 30-Day Free Trial of the Pro version.  I am trying to upload images and I get an error message: "There seems to be an issue with your internet connection."

Melissa, are you sure your connection to the internet is stable?

Rien, absolutely.  I think I have discovered a work-around. I was using Firefox, but if I use Internet Explorer I am able to upload.
