Upload requirements

The sensor type must be of/above 'Four Thirds':

We carefully considered several factors and in doing, so chose to use a minimum sensor size of Four Thirds or higher. Below that, the amount of noise and lack of detail is often just too great. When setting a limit, there will always be a case that falls just in or just out. This is annoying, but something we have taken into consideration. It wouldn't be doable to manually check hundreds of images a day, and we do believe that the current set-up improves the quality of the entire platform.

It is not allowed to upload works that Infringe copyright, intellectual property rights, portrait rights or other publication and/or privacy rights of third parties; contain pornographic, offensive or otherwise illegal or immoral content; contain unlawful or violent acts; contain cruelty or violence towards animals; incite fraudulent acts or give rise to misleading advertising or unfair competition, or violate any other law, statute or regulation.

We do not allow a company name, copyright notice, logo, signature and/or watermark. to be incorporated in the photo itself.

If you want to adjust the composition of your photo afterwards, crop your photo in fixed proportions (1:1, 2:1, 3:2, 4:3, etc.). Make sure you keep to the minimum resolution requirement

A white (or any other coloured) border is not allowed on our platform, as not all materials are suitable for this. Think of white borders, decorative borders or frames. To avoid confusion, we have decided not to allow borders.

You don't need to set DPI (or better PPI) because it's not a value. It is mainly about the number of pixels.

DPI is only meaningful with the dimensions in centimetres attached. A file may be 300 DPI but only 2 by 3 centimetres, in terms of the number of pixels, such a file is still tiny and can be printed at most print at postage stamp size.

Please make sure the works you upload are unique. Don't upload the same photo in 5 different variations. Try to think in both black and white and colour and choose your preference. We want to present our range to customers as attractively as possible, and not duplicate everything. If the customer is interested in a variant, they can indicate this when ordering

Photos taken with a compact camera, an action camera (GoPro, etc.), most drones (DJI, etc.) or a phone do not comply. The reason is that the sensors of these cameras are too small and do not store enough detail. We only allow cameras with a sensor from Four Third.

Our experience tells us that the sensor of an SLR or system camera is not only larger, in most cases the sensor of these cameras also gives a better image. Hence, we have set this limit that at least an SLR or system camera is required.

Of course, it's all about the combination of these minimum camera requirements on the one hand, but also how you handle the camera on the other. See our image quality requirements above.

We distinguish between cameras based on sensor size. Almost all drones have tiny sensors, and therefore deliver photos with much less detail. Since we have a number of wall-filling materials in our collection, detail is paramount!

Tips for photographing your non-digital works:

When photographing your artworks, it is important that the work is evenly exposed, noise-free and as sharp as possible.

• Ensure even light

  • Shoot outside, for example, under a subtle cloud cover. A bright sun makes the light too harsh.

• Shoot at the lowest possible ISO

  • The higher the ISO, the more noise the photo will contain. We ask for digital files with virtually no noise.

• Use a small aperture

  • The smaller the aperture (high f/ value), the sharper the photo will be.

• Use a tripod

  • If you shoot with a low ISO and small aperture, you will need a slower shutter speed to get the work properly exposed. You can't actually shoot this by holding the camera in your hand. So use a tripod.

• Use mirror-lockup, and self-timer

  • Set mirror-lock on your camera. This means that the mirror of your camera folds up before the picture is taken. The flip of the mirror can cause your camera to move and this will be reflected in the photo.

  • Shoot the picture with the self-timer set. Your hand can also cause the camera to move slightly. By setting the self-timer, you eliminate possible movement.
