## Sizing Images

Before you upload your images into Beam, you need to set your design document's dimensions (if you're exporting graphics using design software) or resize your existing images to ensure they show correctly on your displays. See [Sizing Images for Skykit Beam](/v1/docs/sizing-images) to learn more.

## **Uploading Images**

Skykit Beam supports the following image file types:

- JPG
- JPEG
- PNG
- GIF

1. From the **Content** menu, select the **+Content** button in the upper right-hand corner of the window.  
  
![Content window - Add Content button highlighted](https://cdn.document360.io/86c4dfb2-4202-4f4a-97e1-d24441ae8c90/Images/Documentation/Content%20Window%20with%20Create%20Button(7).png)  
  
A drop-down list opens showing the content options available to you.

2. Select **Import Files** to expand the menu and then select **Local Storage** or **Microsoft OneDrive**, depending on where your image files are stored (currently, images cannot be uploaded via Google Drive).  
  
The file source you selected opens, allowing you to search for and select the files you want to upload. You can select multiple files at once, or you can add them one by one.
3. After you select your files, the **Review Upload Queue** window opens. This is where you can review the files you want to upload.  
  
![Review Upload Queue window showing images in queue](https://cdn.document360.io/86c4dfb2-4202-4f4a-97e1-d24441ae8c90/Images/Documentation/uploading-images-into-skykit-beam-image-c1i816vf.png)  
  
From here, you can add or remove files before uploading them to Beam.

- To add files to the queue, select **+Add More Files** and select additional files. The new files are added to the **Review Upload Queue** window.
- To remove a file from the queue, select the **X** in the corner of the file icon.

1. After you have added your image files to the upload queue, select **Upload** to upload them into Skykit. The **Notifications** drawer opens automatically so you can track the progress of the upload.
2. When your files have finished uploading, select **←Back** to return to the **Content** menu, which now lists the images you just uploaded.  
  
![Content window - new images highlighted](https://cdn.document360.io/86c4dfb2-4202-4f4a-97e1-d24441ae8c90/Images/Documentation/Images%20Uploaded(1).png)

Now your images will be available to publish directly to your displays or to insert into a playlist or program.
