Image Use and Permissions
An image speaks a thousand words, so a good photo/image is essential to the overall success of your Wellbeing Umbrella store and listings. It’s important that your products and services are presented clearly, and that the images used encourage potential customers to find out more.
Generally, listing images uploaded onto our Wellbeing Umbrella Platform must be of the product item itself, appointment/service, or event (including therapy space and venue) and must not be a stock image. In certain circumstances, exceptions to using a stock image may be made to accommodate certain appointment/services where an original image is not possible.
When uploading images to our Wellbeing Umbrella Platform, including stock images, as they are protected by copyright law, you confirm that you have all necessary rights, full permission, and licenses to use the images uploaded and are complying with our Terms For Store Users and Acceptable use policy.

To figure out the size of your image in pixels:

You can create the correct image size by inputting the dimensions into a graphic design platform, such as the Canva search bar. See example below:
