Photos of events, people and places in Cheshire East

Images from other sources
If you use images from other sources, you must check that:
- we have the right to use the image in our publications, including the website
- if the image shows people who can be identified, you have permission to use their image. Check with the communications and media team if you are unsure.
Guide of image sizes for use online
Check your image resolution. You need a low resolution (72dpi) and small file size for images to load quickly. Some image software allows you to 'save for web'.
