What are Rotator Images? 

Rotator Images is a tool that lets you upload images that cycle through a rotation. Visitors to your site can click through them or watch them like a slideshow. These are great for:

  • Highlighting agencies on your site
  • Showcasing volunteer Needs
  • Sharing upcoming events

While you can upload as many images or photos as you like, we do recommend only uploading between 10-12 images or photos. This just ensures that the most important information isn't buried in the slideshow.


Size requirements

Images must be 1000px by 600px. We love using and recommending Canva for resizing images; however, you can use any photo editor of your preference to resize images before uploading them.
