Uploaded file not an image
I’ve been trying to upload images and get “Uploaded file not an image” never had a problem before so I can’t understand why it’s not uploading. Image is JPEG between 2.5 and 3.7mb and I’m using an iPad. Any suggestions, please don’t suggest other apps as I won’t use them, never had a problem taking them straight off iPad using the url

This tends to happen when the size of the image file is too big, I would suggest that you change the image size to 1024 x 768, and this will reduce the image file size, then you should be able to upload the image Stu |

Or even reduced down to 400-600px wide. That's a good size for maintaining the standard page width. Scrolling up/down or left/right to see an over large image discourages people from reading the post,

I downloaded a resize app and even at 800x600 which was perfect before won’t upload as it’s not an image. I wonder if Apple have changed the file format in one of their updates and it’s no longer a file type the forum doesn’t recognise

They’re reduced to 800x600 but I’ve seen much larger being posted and as you state it does discourage people as even I give up with such postings. It’s not the size that seems to be the problem as it states not a file

Right click file > Open with > Windows Photo Viewer EDIT: Spotted this on Google: Apple switched its default camera formats for photos and videos from JPG to HEIC (High-Efficiency Image Format) with iOS 11 to save space on the phone. ... I believe there are ways to convert HEIC files to Jpeg. Google will know. TC Last edited by T-Cut; 20th June 2021 at 17:09.. |

See my EDIT above.
There may well be iPad apps that will convert it to Jpeg. TC |

Well I’ve downloaded an app that converts image files to jpeg, I’ve reduced all pictures and now they’re at 2.2mb and still get the message “image not a file”. I give up so I’ll stick to Facebook for posting pictures. Thanks for all your help guys much appreciated

I use this - open pic with this, then just save as medium or low
Seems to work |
