Uploading Images

Help GAWBY's visual library grow by uploading photos for movies, TV shows, celebrities, and events.

Overview

GAWBY accepts three types of image uploads:

  • Movies & TV Shows — Stills, behind-the-scenes photos, posters, and promotional images.
  • Celebrity Photos — Photos of actors, directors, and other industry professionals.
  • Events — Photos from premieres, film festivals, award ceremonies, and other industry events.

To upload images, go to Upload Images or click "Upload Images" from the user menu.

Step 1: Choose Upload Type

Select the type of images you're uploading by clicking one of the three cards:

  • Movies & TV Shows — for images related to specific titles.
  • Celebrity — for photos of specific people.
  • Events — for event photography.

Step 2: Upload Your Images

Drag and drop your images into the upload area, or click to browse your files. You can upload multiple images at once.

  • Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, WebP
  • Maximum file size: 10 MB per image
  • Images are uploaded in chunks, so large files are handled smoothly even on slower connections.

Step 3: Add Details

After uploading, tag your images with the relevant titles, people, or events:

  • For Movies & TV Shows — Search for and select the title(s) the images belong to. Choose the image type (e.g., still, poster, promotional).
  • For Celebrity Photos — Search for and select the person or people in the photos. Choose the image type (e.g., profile, headshot).
  • For Events — Enter the event name and select people who appear in the photos.

You can also add an optional memo or description for the reviewer.
