Uploading pictures

[Learning Always]

Does anyone know the easiest way to upload pictures from a Samsung phone to the forum? I also quickly tried from a computer but came up with the same result. File to large for server.

Thank you.

I have an iPhone and I use my laptop to load pics.
My photo program allows me to crop the pic and reduce the pixels also.

You have to reduce the file size of your photos first. You, like most of us, likely have your phone camera set for the highest resolution so that the pics can print out well and/or look good on a big screen. But for something like this, it’s unnecessary.

Here is what Google AI came up with:

When I use my phone I download the photo first (if it's a photo from the web). Then click on the photo icon in the tool bar and you drop the photo right into the box.

Do you still need to be a senior member before you can post pictures?

I do a screen shot, crop and post.

Yup, taking a screenshot and cropping it is working. I was just overlooking the crop button. Thank you

No. That was not an issue in this forum.

Sometimes, mods will not approve a post that contains pics from a new user who fails to fill out their profile or is not allowed to post here (not in the trade), and they THINK it was about the photo.

Hello,
I was asked for some pictures in a post so I took a few and combined them into a reduced size PDF but got the “too big” error (its 1.6M). As others have asked-what is maximum file size allowed? I could break it up and send smaller pieces? I don’t subscribe to any file sharing sites because, other than this, I really don’t need to.

Thanks

Copy and paste the image to your clipboard. (You can email it from your phone to your computer.) Then just paste it into your post. In the post it's probably going to be too big so select it by clicking on it and grab the border that appears. From the top right of the image drag the border diagonally down to make the image the size you want.
