Uploading pictures to PH
Discussion
Something weird has occurred recently.
When I try and upload pictures from my iPhone or iPad to PH it is really successful after always been successful for years.
If I click on the picture required from my library and select upload, most of the time a message pops up in the PH upload box, no picture to upload.
And yet it's uploaded this screenshot above.
I am not trying to upload high resolution pictures, in fact some of them are pictures that I have uploaded before.
Any idea what is going on? It is the same from both my phone and iPad. A friend says he is having the same problem from his phone as well. I can only assume it is a PH thing.
Appreciate any comments or fixes et cetera.
As an aside, here is an old picture of my daughter just after she passed her test and had already crashed her Nissen Micra on the first day. This is her stand in car. Considering she did so well at school, this picture is really worrying!
Now why did this load up and if I try to load up a picture of my 5.5 L engine, I can't!

I wonder if your iPhone / iPad is saving images as HEIC instead of JPG.

I've just tested my phone with an HEIC image vs a JPG image and the HEIC would not upload and the JPG would.
If you can get them onto your computer, can you tell what image format they are in?

Last one I tried was jpeg, 3.30MB, know this is greater than forum requirements but presume that the fit to forum button made the reduction.
Tried both on laptop (windows 7 with google chrome)and android phone.No success with either except when selling car it accepted photos into ads no problem from phone.
Can post for sale items photos on gumtree without any problem usually from phone on which they have been taken

Why presume ?
Can you not reduce the image size to below 2MB and try again ?
Why have the button if its not going to do anything? Can you not reduce the image size to below 2MB and try again ?
Button there so presume it works
I uploaded some the other day, less than 2mb was fine, 2.4mb gave the issue being reported.

It would have taken far less effort to try uploading an image which was <2MB to determine whether you were dealing with image size or some other issue..

How do I know what the size of an image is?
If you are using iphone (with the latest version) when you click on the photo to upload you'll see a message at the bottom telling you the size, if it's larger than 2MB then click on "choose image size" then choose "large" which will reduce it for you.dickymint said:

How do you do that in Android- no doubt SS2 will be along shortly to tell me twokcc said:
