    They must be 1 mb or less. You will have to resize. Are you using phone or PC?

    The only way I get it to accept the photos is either crop them significantly which isn't ideal or on my iPad/iPhone the best way is if I email them to myself and choose 'medium' when it asks what size. Then save them from the email and then they will load to the site. Bit of a faff but it works.

    If they are on your computer, you can right click and select resize. Select medium and then upload them Please be sure to click full image for all, so we can see your item well. Good Luck. Most new people go through this.

    Sure. Glad to help. Most of my older photos are on my PC. Recently I had to buy a new laptop with one Terabyte of memory to hold them all.

    That does not work on certain OS, I use Windows 7 and it does not work on that.
    I'm holding out until the death before getting W10

    For resizing pics I use a free site called PhotoScape.org
    but there are many out there.

    I crop and re-size my images in Paint. Program should be on most modern computers.
