4. Enter the following information in each field:

   • File Description: Enter a meaningful description of the image.
   • Upload from disk: Click browse and select an image (in GIF, PNG, or JPG format) to upload from your PC to the website.
   
   If you enabled the Upload files from remote source on the General Settings tab of the Admin: File Galleries page, the Upload from URL field appears.
   

    Tip

   The maximum upload size is configured in the php.ini file on your web server.
5. Click Upload.
   

    Note

   You can upload multiple files at once by clicking Add File. Tiki will display an additional upload form. See the Tiki documentation for details.
   
   Tiki uploads the image and adds it to the gallery. Click Browse Gallery to see the uploaded file in your new gallery.
   

When uploading images (such as GIF, PNG, or JPG files), Tiki will create a thumbnail of the image (as defined by the Max thumbnail size field on the Gallery Listing tab of the Admin: File Galleries page. If the uploaded file is not an image, Tiki displays the appropriate icon (in this example, a PDF file) for the file.

If it doesn't work:

• Was the image too large? You may need to modify the upload_max_filesize and post_max_size options in your php.ini configuration file.
• Do you have the GD or Imagick library installed on your web server? If not, Tiki will not be able to create thumbnails or different scales.
