Picture Rotate

Did your picture upload sideways?  Most likely you took your picture using your iphone.   The iphone picture may view or display correctly on your phone and/or mac, but does not save the picture in the appropriate rotation.

All you need to do is open the picture in any photo editing software first, rotate if necessary, then save it again.  Use the newly saved picture as your upload file.

You can prevent this from occuring by taking pictures on your iphone this way:

Logo Resize

GuidedPath requires your logo to be no larger than Max size: 2MB
Max width: 320px
Max height: 100px
Types: jpg, png, gif, bmp

Use a .png file with transparent background for best results
