Before you begin uploading, we recommend placing all of the photos you wish to upload into one folder on your computer so you can easily select them for uploading. We also recommend that you first rotate your images to the correct orientation and make sure that they are not cropped to a square or panoramic shape. This will help ensure that the photos display properly in your finished product. Photos that are standard photo aspect ratios (4x6 and 5x7) are recommended for including in products.

Film Camera Photos / Film Processing

DisneyPhotoPass.com does not offer film processing, and printed images and photo film images cannot be directly uploaded to the site. If you used a film camera to take your pictures, your photo processing lab can probably sell you a CD of JPEG files of your images. You can then upload those JPEGs to the site.

Once your photos have been saved as JPEGs, you can upload them using the Multiple Photo Uploading Tool, Single Upload or Facebook Import process.

Uploading/Importing photos signifies you agree to our uploaded photos policy and Disney's PhotoPass Terms and Conditions.

JPEG is the only file type supported at DisneyPhotoPass.com. If your images are saved in a format other than one of our supported file types, you can use an image-editing application to convert the files into JPEGs. Some popular image-editing applications are provided by Adobe, Roxio and Corel. Or type "image file type converter" into your favorite search engine such as Yahoo or Google for other options.

Below is a list of minimum image photo resolution (in pixels) and camera resolution (in megapixels) for each of our photo products. If you upload photos to DisneyPhotoPass.com for use in any of our products, we strongly recommend that you follow these guidelines to ensure the highest quality product.

Note: The above numbers indicate the minimum recommended image resolution for our various photo products. Your images may exceed these specifications, but please note that due to system limitations, individual files may not exceed 2MB in size.

We cannot be responsible for photos you upload that appear blurry or out-of-focus. Even if the image resolution meets the above minimum requirements for the product you wish to build, the end result will not be optimal if the original image is not optimal.

A photo that does not meet the above requirements may look good when viewed online, but will appear blurry and pixelated - that is, the image will appear blocky with jagged rather than smooth edges - when enlarged and printed.

The multi-photo uploader (Aurigma Image Uploader) will allow you to easily select and upload multiple images at a time, which is recommended for the upload of your photos for use in your photo products. This tool requires ActiveX control, which will take up to a few minutes to install. If you encounter any problems or click “No” you can still upload your photos one by one using our single-photo uploader. Prior to uploading photos you will be asked to agree to the terms as stated in our Uploaded Photos Policy.

1. Select the "Install" button. If you see the following box, click "OK"
