Recipe Photos
Learn how recipe photos and Photos work.
Photos are managed from Manage > Photos and can be attached to recipes in the editor.
Photos is separate from Files. Photos stores images. Files stores recipe documents and folders.
Upload Photos
Open Manage > Photos and upload the photo. Uploads support common web image formats. HEIC images may not be supported on every device, so export those photos as JPEG or PNG first if upload fails.
Uploads may allow cropping before the photo is saved.
Add a Photo to a Recipe
- Open the recipe in the editor.
- Add or select an image block.
- Choose Select Image to pick a photo from Photos.
- Select the photo.
- Save the recipe.
The first image in the recipe is used as the main recipe image on dashboard cards and recipe pages.
Thumbnails
Sparky Cooks uses optimized photo URLs and thumbnails where available so dashboards and recipe pages load faster.
Do not remove a photo from Photos if recipes still use it.
If a Photo Does Not Load
Refresh the page first. If the image still does not load, check whether the photo appears in Photos. If it is missing from Photos, upload it again or contact support.
