Adding own pictures

Along with the pre-sets and application shortcuts you can also use your own, custom made events with your own pictures. Please note that setting up your own events might take a bit of time initially, however, once they are created you can reuse them as they will be stored in the event menu.

Sourcing your own picture

Use a picture via USB or a cloud service

If you have a selection of pictures, like photographs or symbols that you want to use in the YetiCalendar, an easy way to retain them is to save them on a USB stick or even easier in a folder within a cloud service, such as Google Drive, that is installed on your device. That way you don’t need to search them online and download them one by one on the Yetitablet.

USB drive

1. Gather your own pictures from a computer, the internet, or camera and save them on a USB drive.
2. Insert the USB drive to the Yetitablet.

Cloud service

Cloud services are for example Google Drive or Dropbox, among many others. If you synch your Cloud service account on the Yetitablet you can create a folder with your own images and photos from your computer and utilize them to create events in the YetiCalendar.

1. Search for pictures you want to use in the YetiCalendar via and save them in your Cloud. You can also do that on your desktop computer or phone.
2. Make sure the Cloud is also installed on your Yetitablet and synched.
3. We recommend to keep the pictures organized in one or multiple folders.

If you want to use a screenshot for a calendar event, please follow the steps below.

1. Go to the website or app that you want to create a screenshot of
2. Create a screenshot by tapping on the camera icon in the navigation bar.

Search a picture from the internet

Downloading a picture from the Internet (on the Yetitablet)

1. Open a search engine such as Google via your Browser e.g. Google Chrome
2. Type in your search word and make sure you find an image file such as “jpg” or “png”
3. Depending on the website, the process of how to download a picture can vary. Usually, start by long-pressing the image or right-click if you use a computer mouse and look for a download or sharing option.
   1. When you stay within a Google search, click on the image to enlarge it.
