How to Setup Student and Employee Photos

Student and employee photos can be uploaded individually or in bulk using TASS.web program System Admin > Utilities > Bulk Image Upload. This program will automatically resize the images as needed and create thumbnails of each image.

This step is done outside of TASS.

All images that you want to upload must be contained within a .zip file.

To do this on Windows:

In the File Explorer, select the files to upload and right-click on them.
Use the 'Send To > Compressed (zipped) folder' option.

If the 'Send to > Compressed (zipped)' option is not available, your school may use an alternative program for compressing documents in a .zip file. If this is the case and you are not sure what to use, please see your Systems Administrator.

Important!

Do not zip a folder. The images should be at the top level.
Ensure there are no sub-folders within your .zip file.

Use TASS.web program System Admin > Utilities > Bulk Image Upload to upload the files in your .zip file.

Refer to table below for Suggested Image Specifications.

Suggested Image Specifications
Image Format	JPEG (.jpg extension)

Width	500 pixels
Height	625 pixels
Resolution	72 dpi

File Size	~50 kB

Photos must be 500x625 pixels. Any photos outside of this resolution will have thumbnails generated at an incorrect aspect ratio and may appear squished.

If you are replacing a large number of photos, it is recommended to upload them in smaller batches.
