Webtools Answer Board

The campus Directory now supports three types of photo uploads. Once an photo is uploaded into the Directory it can be rotated (if necessary) and cropped to the exact sizes that are required. Images may be added from phones, iPads, desktop computers and other devices. 

Photo types now available:

1. Profile photo – used on our profile page in the Directory
2. Large photo (full screen profile) – to be used in an upcoming release to the Directory to promote faculty and staff.

Achieving the best photo quality:

Directory photos are sized to the specific dimensions needed (listed in Webtools). High-quality photos are often very large, and the Webtools cropper only provides adequate results. For the best quality photos, please reduce the size of your image before uploading it to Webtools.

Uploading photos into the Campus Directory:

1. Visit the Directory
   https://directory.illinois.edu
2. Click the (edit) pencil at the top right and login to Webtools
3. On the General/Photo tab browse to an photo and click "Upload"
4. Rotate your photo if necessary, crop your image as desired, and click "Review and save"
5. If your photo looks correct click "Save Photo", else click "Cancel" and try again
6. Repeat steps above to add any of the three photo types
