# Step 1. Resize the image(s)
- Go to this site (opens new window) and upload the product image(s).

To save time, you can upload multiple images at a time. However, you must upload all .pngs separately from .jpgs in order to complete Step 2.
- Under Resize Options, select BY PIXELS and enter 360px under width. Make sure that only Maintain aspect ratio is selected.
- Select Resize Images ->
