How to create a custom image? (iPiccy)
Nowadays it is very useful to be able to edit images yourself. Especially the customization of images is a skill that you will need to have to run a webshop. Of course we love to teach you everything, so here it is!
We have already written an article on this topic in the past. In that article we used the free program Pixlr. In this article, we are going to use another free program called iPiccy.

How to save your image
Now that you have customized the image, all we need to do is save the image. Then we can use the image in your webshop.
1. Click 'Save' and then choose 'My computer'.
2. Then choose the file name and quality. We recommend that you always choose "Normal" or "High". Don't choose "Highest". This ensures that your image becomes very large in terms of file size.
3. Now click "Save to my computer" and choose the location where you want to save the image.
All you have to do is import the image into your online store and we're there. It can be that simple!
