Uploading picture

Having trouble uploading a picture keeps saying to big ....any suggestions please ...

If you are getting an error message that says the image is too big, then that means that the image is larger than the 900kb that is allowed here so you will need to reduce the size of your image down.

At the top of every board there are "stickied" notes of tips to help you in every section including this one on "How to post an image"

Hello,

You might find it works if you open the file in paint and then save it as a different format. If you go to 'Save as', you should be able to select a different file type from the drop-down list. Often there is an option for a lower quality picture for web sharing.

This is assuming you are using windows - although there should be a similar option with other operating systems.

Hope this helps!

When you attach the photo for the second attempt, you will need to rename the file.

If you have a photo, right Click on it and Open in Paint


There is the resize option

Depending on size to start with one can reduce it by 10%  or 60% etc  BUT then go File > Save As  and give it a File name   eg. Pic127reduced   

Still too big?   Open  Pic127reduced  and reduce it further!

So you still have the original which was Pic 127  plus Pic127reduced      without losing quality!

One needs to practice with it!


BUT one needs to practice with a photo of little or no importance!

Great for saving Files on the likes of Dropbox etc..

 
Practice needed first!
