Uploading Photos

There is a 200MB maximum per upload (6MB maximum per single photo) and you may only upload 40 images at a time. If you exceed this limit, please reduce photo size or the number of photos you upload and then repeat the upload process to acquire more photos. In order to view the website accurately, the minimum requirement for screen resolution is 800x600 pixels.

Note: screen resolution refers to the settings of your computer monitor and does not reflect the resolution of individual image files.

Please be aware that the time necessary to upload images can vary significantly depending on the size of your image(s), and the speed of your modem and internet connection.

You have three options for uploading your photos.


If you don't have Java installed on your computer then you will have the option of using our ActiveX Uploader or the Basic Uploader.

The integrity of your images will be maintained after uploading. Please note that our site requires at least Internet Explorer 6.x or Netscape 4.x. We do not support version 3.x browsers.

Easy Uploader

1. Before starting the Easy Uploader, please click the checkbox to place a checkmark beside the Wal*Mart PhotoCentre Terms and Conditions.

2. To begin, click the "Get Photos" button or drag and drop your images from the location where they are stored on your computer. If you are using the drag and drop capability of our uploader window, then once you have dropped all of the images you'd like to upload onto the uploader window, simply click the "Upload" button to proceed and continue with Step 4.

Note: if you are looking for help with uploading photos to an album, please see How to upload to an Album for detailed instructions.

3. If you clicked the "Get Photos" button, then our uploader will appear on your screen. Click the image you would like to select to place a checkmark in the box beneath it, or click directly on the checkbox itself. If you change your mind about an image, then you can click the image or click the checkbox to remove the checkmark. If your image is in another folder, then use the sidebar menu, the drop down file menu, or the "up arrow" button located beside the drop down menu to navigate to its location. You can move between folders and the uploader will retain your selections from each folder you visit. To select all the images in a folder, click "select all." Click the "Upload" button when you are ready to proceed.

Note: the Easy Uploader offers a fast and slow speed for your upload. The fast speed will transfer your images up to 5X faster by compressing them prior to uploading them. We recommend this option for images 8 X 10 or smaller. Choose the slow speed for large gifts or for posters. The integrity of your images will be retained after uploading.

4. Your images will appear on the Easy Upload window and the status of each image's upload will be shown as a blue status bar underneath the individual image. The status for your total upload will be shown as a blue bar at the bottom of the Easy Upload window.

Note: if you have not already done so, you will be prompted to agree to the Wal*Mart Online PhotoCentre Terms and Conditions. Please click the checkbox and then click the "Upload" button to proceed.

5. Once your upload completes, your images will be displayed in the Prints viewing area where you can preview and edit your photos, or apply a print type/size and quantity for all of your photos by using the Quick Set feature. If you would like to upload more images, click the "Add More Photos" button and refer to Step 2.

6. Your pictures are now stored in an album. You may choose to share this album by clicking the "Share Album" button located in the bottom left corner of the Prints viewing window. To fully enjoy all of the options associated with albums, please sign up for a free account. With an account you can store your photos in several albums, organize them for easy viewing, and print from them at any time. With an account you will also be able to share your albums with friends and family for as long as you remain a member.

Please note: if you leave the prints viewing area and you are not logged into your account, you may need to upload your images again.
