- Guidelines:
- Each episode is limited to one image.
- Use an official episode image when available. The image should be indicative of the content of the episode without revealing any spoilers. Official images must still follow the text and logo rules below.
- Wherever possible, especially for newer series, the image should not contain the network watermark/logo.
- The image should not be a title card, and ideally will have no writing on it whatsoever. The reason for this is that episode images are supposed to be language-agnostic.
- For YouTube series, DO NOT just use the thumbnail image from the episode, unless there is NO writing on it whatsoever.
- Of course, podcasts don't normally have screenshots, in the traditional way that TV series do. It's our preference that podcasts do not have episode images added, unless they have released official episode images, such as in the case of Criminal.
- If an image on the site needs to be replaced, you will have to post a request in the forums for an admin to do so.
- Images should be uploaded in their original aspect ratio if the show is 16:9 then that should be the ratio of the image, even if your local network broadcast it in 4:3.
- Images shouldn't just be a title shot from the episode. We already know the episode's name, we don't need to see it again.

- Guidelines:
- Character images should be an image of the actor in this specific role. If an animated series, this should be a photo of the character they voice, from the chest up — a picture of the voice actor can be added for the Actor Image. If an image is already set for this actor, uploading an image will replace the existing one.
- For animated characters that are human (or at least, shaped like a human), we require their images to be a headshot. If an animated character is not large enough to be able to grab a headshot for (an example is Klaus from American Dad), you can add a photo that shows more of their body, or their entire body where applicable.
- Each actor should also have one official actor image, which will be populated on a series or movie page in the event that there is no character image uploaded for their specific role.
- Images should not be stretched in any way. If you can't find high-quality images that meet our requirements, please leave it for someone else to fill in.
- There should be no writing on the actor images.
- Images should ideally be headshots or stay above the waist.
- Actors should not have hats, glasses (unless they wear them full-time), hands, props, or anything else in their photo. It should just be a clear shot of their face and chest, looking at the camera.
- Images must take up the entire canvas; bars on the sides or top are not allowed.
- Character images should be an image of the actor in this specific role. If an animated series, this should be a photo of the character they voice, from the chest up — a picture of the voice actor can be added for the Actor Image. If an image is already set for this actor, uploading an image will replace the existing one.
