Upload Images
Prepare – If your image needs to be cropped, please do so before uploading. Crop an image for free using an
online photo editor, such as picresize.com, imageresize.org or befunky.com. Also, depending on the size of the
file, you may need to resize as well. Most Corjl designs will only allow images up to 6 MB.

Add Images – Upload a graphic or photo by clicking on the Add New Image button in the tools panel. If offered,
you can select from images provided by the designer, or upload your own. You can adjust the size and rotate
the image (see above).

Replace – To replace an existing image, click on it and you will see a button in the tools panel that says Replace
Image. Upload your image and it will replace the existing image. Your seller may have provided extra images as
well that you can choose from to replace.

● Photo/Image Tips: If your photo does not seem to fit the space provided, use the “grey dots” found in
the corners of the photo to resize (zoom in/zoom out) until the image fits the area.
○ Do NOT resize the image by stretching the height or width (taller or wider) as this can distort
your photo.
○ If you want to replace the photo you have added with a different photo, do not delete the photo.
Instead use the “Replace Image” button on the right to select a different photo.
○ If you add a photo and it is floating above or below the area of the design where you want it to
be, click on the Layer for that photo in the Layers Menu (far lower right) and drag the name of the
photo layer up or below the other layers until it is showing in the desired area.

Fixing Mistakes
Undo and Redo Buttons – You can go back a step (or steps) by clicking the Undo button in the Tools Panel (see
Editing Tools Panel graphic). Change your mind? Click on the Redo button next to it.

Revert to Original – You can revert all changes back to the original version of the design by

Changes button that is located on the far left of the page. You may save as many times as you
like, but be sure to do a final save before downloading. If there is a red star next to the title of the
