There are three ways you can upload photos:

unique e-mail address to which you can send your photos.
**Note that each photo may be up to 10MB in size, but
smaller photos will upload faster. The site supports photos in the
.jpg, .gif and .png file formats.**

If you are using a FlipCam to record video, please read these
basic tips for filming.
To maintain the best video quality for uploading on
ExchangesConnect, we recommend using "iPod video" format. This is
h.264 mp4 with AAC audio, with a size of 426 x 324 (to convert
videos easily into iPod video format, you can use free software
like iSquint for Macs and Videora iPod Converter for Windows
PCs).
Most importantly, don't forget to
tag your photos and videos with descriptive words
(like the location and the country) to help people search for
them!
