Photo too big

[HJ267]

This may be a silly question but what do I do if the photo I am trying to upload is rejected by the site for being too large?

Crop it and make it just a tad smaller. I’ve ran into that issue before.

On an iPhone:
Choose your picture, then choose lower left “options”.

Then pick a smaller size

Perfect thank you!

I use this utility for windows, it was so good a MS bought it. No cost to use it.

PowerToys Image Resizer utility for Windows

A Windows shell extension for bulk image-resizing

learn.microsoft.com

You can resize one image or an entire folder at once. It is fast and you can do it by left clicking on the picture or folder.

If it’s an iPhone, get rid of the Live Photo and it’ll shrink as well.

Down load SnipIt, it may already be on your PC, and use it to snip pics and then size them when you paste them by dragging a corner.

On Android, I downloaded an app called "Qreduce Lite". It's free, and you can make any picture as small a you like.
