While not specifically intended as a warehouse for photos and other kinds of images, you may find that storing these item types in your account is useful. This may be especially true if you want to keep all of the resources you use for web map pop-ups, apps, or ArcGIS Hub sites in the same place.\r\n\r\nNote:\u00a0When\u00a0using a public account, you cannot add images as items. However, you can add locally stored images to stories created with ArcGIS StoryMaps using a public account. These will\u00a0not appear as items,\u00a0but rather are stored within the story.\r\n\r\nAlso note that while adding images to Content does not consume credits, credits are used to store images.\r\n\r\nAdding Photos and Images to My Content<\/strong>\r\n\r\nStep 1:<\/strong> Select a photo or image you\u2019d like to use in a map or story. Ensure the file is one of the following types and uses one of the following extensions: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .tif, .tiff. For more information, check out\u00a0What can you add to ArcGIS Online?<\/a>\r\n\r\nFor this tip, we\u2019re going to use a photo of the Geography sign near the caf\u00e9 on the Esri Redlands campus. You can download the photo<\/a> directly, or you can open the item details<\/a> for this example and look for the URL at the bottom right of the page. From the item details, you can also download the image by clicking the Download button, or by clicking the thumbnail.\r\n\r\nStep 2:<\/strong> Sign in to your ArcGIS Online account. Click on the\u00a0Content\u00a0tab, then select New\u00a0item on the left.
