Image recommendations

  • If you are using an iPhone to take an image, open the file on your computer in a photo program and then re-save it before uploading it to Drupal. The iPhone's specific image file type may be problematic for non-Apple software.

For facility images:

  • Horizontal image
  • Exterior image
  • The image helps a Veteran find this location easily from the street/parking lot (it’s not too close, not too far)
  • Visitors with safety or mobility concerns can see indicators such as ramps and accessible parking to prepare for their visit
  • The image is clear/not blurry
  • The image is straight
  • No people
  • No visible license plates
