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

  1. Check the sizeIf you see a "file too large" message, that is the limit — export at a smaller size and retry.
  2. iPhone photos are fineHEIC and HEIF are accepted. If one specific file fails, export it as JPEG and try again.
  3. Upload fewer at a timeSmaller batches survive a shaky connection far better than one large one.
  4. 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.
