This article covers:


Adding an event image

To upload the entry image, ensure you’re in your entry settings. You can access these by either adding a new entry or selecting an existing one within your schedule, then Edit entry:

Scheduling setup with an arrow pointing to the 'Edit Entry' button, indicating where users can click to access their entry settings.

Select the Information tab and scroll down to the Event image section. From there, select Upload:

Information tab screen from within entry settings with the 'Event image' section highlighted


💡 If you have an existing image in your previously uploaded files, you can select Select from library to upload it instead.

After choosing an image, an option will appear, allowing you to crop it to fit our pre-defined dimensions:

We recommend using an image at least 2000x1125px (16:9 ratio), no larger than 10MB, and in JPG or PNG file format.

The image appears on your public page at the top of your event, just below the event name:

⚠️ The system will not save an entry image if the image title has a "+" in it. Please avoid using special characters in image names to avoid this error.


Editing or removing an event image

Once you have added an event image, two options will appear in the top-right corner of the image:

  1. Edit: Lets you drag and resize the field to crop your image.

  2. Remove: Deletes the image, allowing you to upload or select a new one.

For example:

Adding images to your event description

To add additional images to your event description, you’ll need to insert a public image link. This means the image must already be hosted somewhere on the internet.

The simplest way to do this on Bookwhen is by uploading your image to the Files section of your account.

  1. Select Settings, then Files from the left-hand menu of your account

  2. Once opened, select Upload files in the top right-hand corner of the page:

    Files section with arrow pointing at the 'Upload files' button.

  3. Press Select files and choose the image file you'd like to upload.

    Files screen with arrow pointing at the 'Select files' button.

  4. Once selected, wait until the Upload complete message appears under the file:

    Files section with arrow pointing at the 'Upload complete' message.
  5. Select Done when you are finished uploading the files.

Next, you can copy the image link address. The image URL link address is not the URL of the image when you click on it.

Instead, right-click on the image link in your attachments section and copy the link address:

Chrome:

Files section highlighting the 'Copy Link Address' option that appears when users right-click the file hyperlink.

Safari:

Files section highlighting the 'Copy Link Address' option that appears when users right-click the file hyperlink.

The link should follow a similar format to: https://files.bookwhen.com/nc04ikd0i57y/jvxbm9lpks3b/uploaded_file

The code

Next, paste the copied link into the following code, replacing PLACEHOLDER with your link (ensure you remove the PLACEHOLDER text).

An example of the code is:

! [image name] (PLACEHOLDER)

⚠️ Please ensure you remove any spaces before and after the [ ] brackets in the example.

For example:

Information tab within entry settings with arrow pointing into the 'Description' field, highlighting where the code for the image should be added.

The result on the public page:

Public page with the entry image highlighted under 'Details'

💡 Please ensure the image is already uploaded in the correct sizing to your attachments, as you can't resize it later.
