Guide: Adding Photos and Media

Photos and documents bring your family history to life. Here's how to add media to your family tree:

## Uploading Photos

1. Navigate to any person's profile page
2. Click the 'Media' tab or 'Add Photo' button
3. Select your image file (JPG, PNG supported)
4. Add a caption and date if known
5. Save to attach to the profile

## Best Practices

- **Scan old photos** at 300 DPI or higher for best quality
- **Add descriptions** - Include names, dates, and locations when known
- **Tag multiple people** - If a photo shows several family members, link it to each profile
- **Preserve originals** - Keep your original photos safe; uploads are copies

## Supported Formats

- Images: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP
- Documents: PDF (for certificates, letters, etc.)
