Uploading Images to Umbraco
When preparing images for uploading to the site, you must adhere to the following recommendations compiled by the developers:
The image must be in JPG format.
The image size should not exceed 200 KB. Images uploaded larger in a single case will not cause much harm to your site. However, if there are many such images, this will affect the page loading speed.
It is better to name pictures using English letters, excluding any symbols like () = - + / and others.
Please exclude spaces in the file name. Space can be replaced with underscore _.
The optimal photo size for wide-format viewing is 1200x800px.

1. Log in to the site management system.
login to the control system

The weight, format and other parameters of text documents also affect the loading speed of a website developed on any content management system. Therefore, we recommend that you follow a few simple rules for preparing and uploading documents to the website:

Files should be named without using extra symbols. Problems should be replaced with a lower dash.
