My upload keeps failing
Almost always one of three things: the file is too large, the format is unusual, or the connection dropped mid-upload.
TroubleshootingFor everyoneLogin required
Symptoms
- The upload stops partway
- "File too large"
- My iPhone photos will not upload
Most likely causes
- The file exceeds the size limit.
- An unusual format the browser cannot decode.
- The connection dropped partway.
- The tab was backgrounded on a phone.
What to do
- Check the sizeIf you see a "file too large" message, that is the limit — export at a smaller size and retry.
- iPhone photos are fineHEIC and HEIF are accepted. If one specific file fails, export it as JPEG and try again.
- Upload fewer at a timeSmaller batches survive a shaky connection far better than one large one.
- Keep the tab in the foregroundPhones suspend background tabs, which kills an upload in progress.
Expected result
The files upload and appear where you put them.
If the issue continues
