How to fix a photo that will not upload

Most upload failures come down to file size, a format the destination cannot decode, a damaged export, or a browser that cannot open the image. Start with the smallest reversible change, then try again.

Get it right in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Check the file and format

    Try opening the image locally first. If it cannot be opened, export a fresh JPEG, PNG, or WebP copy from the original source.

  2. 2

    Reduce an oversized file

    Use Image Compressor to create a smaller JPG or WebP when the destination has a size limit or a mobile connection is unreliable.

  3. 3

    Retry with a supported image

    Choose the new file from the device rather than reusing a failed picker entry. If the destination still rejects it, check its documented dimension and format rules.

PRACTICAL TIPS

Avoid the common mistakes

Keep the original

Compress or convert a copy first so the full-resolution source remains available for print or future edits.

Avoid repeated screenshots

A fresh export from the original image is usually cleaner than repeatedly screenshotting or re-saving an already compressed file.

Check free storage

Mobile share sheets and social apps can fail when the device has little temporary storage available.
