# How to add albums and galleries

You can add albums and galleries to the site. Albums are pages for displaying photos and videos. A gallery is a page that contains multiple albums.

## **Photo requirements**

Upload photos in large size, the site will automatically reduce them for different devices without quality loss.

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend uploading photos in **JPG** format with a size of **at least 2560 px** on the long side. You can also upload **PNG** images with a size of **no more than 10 MB**.

To compress an image of an image in PNG format, you can use the website <https://tinypng.com/>
