We have found that the usual causes of a photo upload issue are the size and format of the image that you are trying to use, and that ensuring your photo is formatted as a JPEG/JPG and reducing the image size before uploading solves the problem.

Photo files have to be under 8Mb in size and saved as JPEG or JPG format.

We have provided below advice and instructions using both mobile and desktop devices:

iPhone

Creating your own shortcut lets you reduce the image file size on your iPhone or iPad according to your preference; plus promises to be a more secure and private method:

1. Open Shortcuts → tap the Add (+) button.
2. Assign a name for your shortcut → tap Add Action.
3. Select Categories tab → tap Media.
4. Scroll down and choose Get Images from Input under the Images section.
5. Tap the blue button on top → toggle Show in Share Sheet → select Done.
6. Drag the Media selection up and choose Resize Image under Image Editing.
7. You may modify the following:

• Tap Size and modify the parameters by which you want to resize. You can select Ask Each Time so you can manually specify it each time you run the shortcut.
• 640 is the default width set by the shortcut. You may want to change it to your preferred width. An option is to change it to 1080, which is the standard value for Instagram posts.

Android (Google/Samsung) phone photo resize tutorial

1. View the photo within the Gallery app then touch the pencil icon to edit
2. You may need to crop the photo to exclude the areas not needed e.g. above your head/below your neck. Use the corners and ‘pinch in’ to reshape the frame then touch Save once finished.
3. Click the pencil icon again to edit then press the 3 vertical dots menu
4. On the next menu press Resize then select 20% and Done
5. Press Save
6. Whilst viewing the edited image swipe up to view the file details which will reveal the file size in Mb. If still over 8Mb then repeat from instruction 3.

Windows or

You may need to use a (free) photo resizing app on your device (or you could take a screenshot of the photo and use that). On Windows, the built-in Paint app can be used (use its ‘Stretch/Skew’ option in the ‘Image’ menu) – and on macOS, the built-in Preview app (use its ‘Adjust Size’ option in the ‘Tools’ menu).

If you are using a photo that you already have stored on a computer, please again ensure that it is and that the image size is below the file limit of 8Mb.

If you are still unable to upload your photo after resizing and saving it in the correct format, please email a copy of the photo and your eight-digit university student number to the IT Service Desk at  servicedesk@brighton.ac.uk
