Add a COVER PHOTO to to your itinerary or a specific booking type.
Add multiple images to your bookings within your itinerary. All added images will pull through into an image carrousel on the Web-view version of the itinerary. Only the first image will pull onto the PDF and the mobile app.
To add a collaged type photo, we recommend sites like PhotoJoiner or Canva.
These sites are excellent tools to help you create collage images that are one downloadable image file, used to represent your itinerary (via the GEAR icon "Edit Itinerary") or a single booking.
Unsplash is a great site to find "freely usable images." Just be careful as the photos may be quite large. (It would be good to have some type of photo editor where you can reduce the image size.)

Photo Library where you can save your own photos
REMINDER:
Text fields are meant for text only content. If you embed a picture into one of these fields, it could cause issues generating the itinerary on the client perspective.
We recommend keeping image links tied to the image designated section of the booking.
TIP:
If you want to show multiple photos of a resort via the mobile app, embed a hyperlink in the notes section of a hotel booking that will link them to a picture album on the resort website.
