In the “Images” section, you manage images used for playback on your Players.

Supported Formats

Yodeck supports any image file type that can be displayed in a modern browser. These include JPEG, PNG, SVG, and GIF (including light animations). Images are not resized automatically; they are delivered and played back exactly as you have uploaded them.

Supported Resolution

If you are not using our latest 4K Yodeck player and using a previous version of it, like the RPi 3B+, it will be wise to resize your images to Full HD 1920×1080 before uploading them to your Yodeck account. If you do not do that, images with huge resolutions can slow down the player.

On the other hand, our latest 4K Yodeck player can decode 4K images so, feel free to upload any 4K images to your account and display them on your 4K TV screen.

Adding an Image

To add a single image, you click on the ”Add Image ” button found at the images list’s bottom.

As a next step, you are requested to choose if you want to upload your own photo or select photos from the vast range of free stock images you’ll find in our Gallery.

You can Upload an image from your local storage or use the Import from URL option to import an Image file hosted in the cloud.

You can hold [Ctrl] or [Shift] to select multiple files at once.

After successfully uploading an image file you can:

1. type in the Name of the image
2. an optional Description
3. add Tags to the uploaded image
4. set the Default Duration of the image if you decide to add it to a playlist
5. in the Advanced Features, you can set the Play From /Play Until parameters. In other words, you can set the expiration date, which means that you can choose the exact date and time that this image will display in your playlist or layout, or you can set the “Always” and “Forever” setting, and the image will never expire.
6. click Save to finally upload the image

Adding an image(s) with the Drag ‘n Drop option

You have the option to add a file by dragging the specific file or files from your PC directly into the UI of the Images section on the portal, therefore skipping a few steps and saving you some extra time.

Managing Images

In the “Images” section, you can see a list of the images currently uploaded into your Yodeck account. Image information is organized in the following columns:

• the Name of the image along with a Preview (thumbnail) of the actual image
• the Timestamp (date and time) that the image was modified for the last time
• the Workspace (for accounts in the Enterprise plan) that the image belongs
• the Tags (for accounts in the Pro and Enterprise plan) that are applied to the file
• the Actions column

If you click on the three dots icon in the Actions column, you will be presented with a list of actions that you can apply to your uploaded image files.

Click on each tab below to see a short description.

Additional Control Settings

At the top-left corner, you can use the Search box to quickly sort out your image listing. Search using any of the four columns which means by name, date, workspace, and tag.

Sselect one or more images by clicking the square box left to their thumbnail. You can then click the Actions button at the bottom to Edit, Move, Delete all the selected images at once.

At the top-right corner, you can click on the “+Add Folder” button in order to create a folder that can be used to group media files (the folder will be global among Images, Videos, Audio, Documents, Web Pages, and Widgets).
