Uploading your photos to Photo and Crochet is simple and allows you to showcase your work to a wider audience. Follow the steps below to upload and prepare your images for publication.
1. Access the upload section
Log in to your account and locate the Photo tab in the left navigation panel. Click on it, then select Upload.
2. Upload your images
A new window will open where you can drag and drop multiple images into the designated upload area. The total upload size must not exceed 40 MB.
Alternatively, you can click on the upload area to open your file browser and select images manually from your device.
3. Configure your uploaded images
After a successful upload, a new screen will appear where you can complete the following steps:
a) Select an album
Choose the album where your image should appear. By default, your personal system-generated album (named after your username) is selected. You can create additional albums or change the assignment later.
b) Add titles, descriptions, and metadata
Below you will find the available language blocks. It is important to enter your content in the correct language fields.
If your native language is supported, please use the corresponding language block. If your native language is not supported, you must enter all required information in English.
Providing accurate language data ensures your images are properly displayed to users and improves visibility across different language versions of the site.
For each language, you should provide:
• a clear Title
• a short Caption
• a descriptive Description
• a Meta Description for search engines
• relevant Keywords
These details help visitors understand your image and significantly improve its visibility in search engines.
c) Submit or save your work
Once you are satisfied with your entries, click Submit for Review. The review process usually takes 3 to 4 days, and you will be notified in your dashboard.
If you are not ready yet or want to complete additional language versions first, you can save your image as a draft and continue editing before submitting it for review.
Example (Best Practice)

Providing clear, accurate, and language-specific information increases the chances of your image being discovered and appreciated by a wider audience.
