Images

Images are an integral part of making a website look and feel complete and conveying a company style. In NetSuite, any time you upload an image to a record, it is stored in your File Cabinet, found on your Documents subtab.

For the purposes of your website, you can upload your item images, company logos, graphic art, and other images to the Images folder of your File Cabinet for easy access when associating the images with records in your account. You can upload a compressed file of all of your images using the Advanced Add button on the File Cabinet.

Files stored in Images folders using Add File or Advanced Add are automatically available without login. On Advanced Add, the Make All Files Available Without Login box is checked by default. On Add File, available without login is applied automatically in the background.

Uploading Images

To use images on your website, upload them to the File Cabinet by going to Commerce > Site Builder > Content > Images. Images must be stored in this folder to be accessible for your website. After they are uploaded, you can reference them in your store as many times as you like.

Images can be JPEG, PNG, or GIF files and may not exceed 10 KB per image. Flash animations are SWF files that may not exceed 30 KB and can only be used on the Welcome tab of your site.

After you upload your images, see Using Images in your Web Store for instructions on how to attach images to items, categories, and information items.
