I recommend focusing on showcasing your best work within the 4 files limit. Don&#8217;t use the same image in more than one category. You don&#8217;t have to upload them one by one. Just click each time on the upload box without clicking on send right away. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1736939075964\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">3.

To reduce the file size, try the following:<br \/>* Use graphic software like Photoshop or <a href=\"https:\/\/zapier.com\/blog\/photoshop-alternatives-best-free-photo-editors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">other tools<\/a> to set the dpi to 72, which will help lower the file size. Reducing the dpi will also adjust the image size accordingly. So be sure to check the final dimensions.<br \/>The maximum dimension per photo is <strong>4096 x 4096<\/strong> pixels.<br \/>* Alternatively, resize your image, but make sure it remains equal or larger than <strong>720 x 720 <\/strong>pixels.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1750261863990\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">4.
