Any file submissions without proper file extensions will be declined. We DO NOT submit Products without file extensions. |

File Naming
When naming your files, it is recommended to name them appropriately. For example, if you have a photo with beautiful clouds in the sky, your file might be named “Beautiful_clouds.jpg” or “BeautifulCloudsSky.jpg”. If you have several products with the same theme, you can use numbers to the name. For example your files might be named “Beautiful_clouds_1.jpg”, “Beautiful_clouds_2.jpg” etc., or “BeautifulCloudsSky_1.jpg”, “BeautifulCloudsSky_2.jpg” etc.

File names should NOT contain special _char_acters such as brackets ( ) { } [ ], slashes | /, stars * , spaces and others. Only allowed _char_acters are dashes – and underscores _. |

Manipulation and thus is not allowed and we cannot accept your file. Presentation of the Product in the first place in search results is not affected by manipulation of the name with _qt_A_qt_ or _qt_1 _qt_, but and on the proper use of words in the Title mainly from the Keywords entered.
