File Submissions

If sending us multiple large digital images or files, please consider not emailing them directly to us. You can make one zipped archive of all the files so you can send them as ONE BIG ZIP file (wikihow.com/Make-a-Zip-File).

Please send files only to production [at] wetapple [dot] com using one of the services listed below:

MailBigFile (mailbigfile.com) — Send unlimited numbers of files (zipped into a single archive as per instructions above) up to 2GB in file size! (ignore the ad in the middle of their page and just go right up to the top left to use it for free!)
Dropbox (dropbox.com) — Be sure to send them with full download permissions.
WeTransfer (wetransfer.com) — Another popular file transfer service.

Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions please email us at production [at] wetapple [dot] com.
