Image library

Modified on Mon, 23 Sep at 6:26 PM

Image library is a place where creators can put images. The images are being used by the creators and admins of the environment.


The aim of the image library is to support the decentralised creation process of Open Badges. When all of the organisation’s badge images have been saved to the platform’s image library and not to the users’ own computers, the right versions of the images can be used by everyone right away.


Image specifications                
  • PNG or SVG
  • square, e.g. 200 x 200 px
  • 100-300 px (w. and h.) in size, we recommend 200 x 200 px images
  • under 250 kB in file size.


Images can be categorised the same way as badges (see Adding a category to a badge / Removing a category from a badge). It’s also possible to organise images and make a search with the same functions as with badges. 


NB! The image background is best when it’s transparent, so that for example embedding the badge to a website happens smoothly.


Uploading a file to image library                                                                     
  1. Click New image -icon.
  2. Give the image a suitable name and write a comment on the image if needed.
  3. Bring the image from a computer by clicking the Upload a file link.
  4. Click the Save button in the end.


Creating an image with the editor                                                           

It’s also possible to create the badge image with the editor: Image library → New image → Edit image. It’s possible to edit the badge’s shape, icon, text, and effects for example.
