Image & File Naming Conventions

NO SPACES IN FILENAMES

Keep file names short and relevant.

Use hyphens in documents to diliniate words. Avoid using underscores or periods in filenames.

Avoid use of uppercase characters.

Use lower case characters, even if the file name is a proper noun or name.

Special Characters

Do not use non-alphanumeric characters.

Replace characters such as: * : \ / < > ” ? [ ] ; = + & £ $ , with hyphens or an equivalent word

Example

replace & with and

Avoid using unconventional abbreviations or acronyms.

Always include the file extension at the end of documents and image filenames.

Three letter extensions are preferred over 4 letter where possible.

File Extensions

replace tiff with tif and jpeg with jpg

Date format
