To upload user profile photos in bulk:

1. Ensure you have a compressed .zip, .rar or .tar file of the images you'd like to use for your team members. Follow the guidelines for image requirements and sizes in the Need to Know above.
2. Go to Manage > Users. 
3. Click the caret next to Add or remove and click Add profile images for multiple users.
   
4. Click Upload profile images.
5. Upload the applicable file containing each user's photos. This must be either a ZIP or TAR file. The name of each user's photo must be user’s email; for example, [e-mail], in order for the process to work correctly. 
6. Once the file is uploaded, give the file a description. This can be something simple like "User profile images". Then click Save.
7. Typically the upload will take up to 10 minutes. To see whether or not the upload was successful, go to Image history and look at the most recent completed job. You should see the upload time, completion time and your name, followed by the status. Click Download to view a file that will tell you whether the job was successful or not. 
   
8. You can also go to the users' profiles to see if the image was uploaded.
