Can’t Upload Photos On Here - File Too Big??

  1. I’ve tried uploading photos on here, but keep getting a ‘file too big’ message come up. Has something changed on the servers, as I’m trying to upload in the same way I always have done, but am no longer able to?
     
  2. Have you tried turning it off and on again??

  3. Yeah I could do that, but have never had to do that before, so wondered what’s changed
     
  4. If the pic is too big then try and resizing it. I have to do that sometimes.
     
  5. no capacity for big memory on here for as long as i can remember.
     
  6. I recently loaded a file of 2.5Mb approx. -this was yesterday though...
     
  7. :D not quick enough.
     
  8. haha - quick, but in this case just too quick for anyone else to get that!

  9. Yep, but I never had to do that before, so what’s changed??
     
  10. Nothing has changed. Occasionally files are too big. Happens to me a lot. You've obviously been lucky ;)
     
  11. Happens to me too always been like it if it's too big resize :)

    sometimes a picture off the internet won't load here but if I save it to photos it will.
    Gifs are another that usually says too big
     
  12. The snipping tool is useful on these occasions...:upyeah:

  16. Agree - the "Snip" method is very good - I haven't loaded a picture in ages, always a Snip using the "Snipping Tool" - but it can still be too large if you take a snip of the whole screen

    If you have Windows you can search for "Snipping Tool" in the Search box.

    You then outline what you want to cut out - either straight lines of free draw the area you want - copy then paste where you want it to appear. At work we use it in emails all the time. With emails you can even give it a border to make it look pretty :D

    Snipping Tool looks like this:

    Mac has a version of Snipping Tool as below:

  17. I used it a lot at work, indispensable when putting together presentations and you need to put PDF or excel docs into word or powerpoint.
