Issues with image uploads

I am having very regular issues with images not uploading when adding artworks, I’ll click the link, select the image(s) and wait, and just nothing happens, sometimes when I try again (3 or 4 times sometimes) it will eventually upload, other times I seem to have to save as a draft and then update the image to add the photo. Often times now I am only using one image even though I have others because it is just so painful, especially when you have a few artworks to upload.

I usually resize my camera images to 1920 pixels on the long edge, I noted in the guide on the forum it just says “at least 1500 pixels”.

Are there any known issues or workarounds? Should I just use much smaller images (with the consequent reduction in quality).

If it keeps happening there might be some swear words in the “Why did you resave this image” dialog :slight_smile:

Thanks for bringing this up Andrew. I’ve been having this same issue for a few weeks now as well. It doesn’t seem to work at all for 4G uploads. The image just doesn’t upload it doesn’t matter how many times I try. It will only work on WiFi and often not first time around

I had the same problems, it’s frustrating and then I don’t want to make a second attempt, because it takes a very long time.

Hi @Andrew_Haysom, I’ve added progress indicators to show upload progress, and made a few more updates to improve overall performance. Just a heads-up: uploading images larger than 100MB isn’t supported, so please ensure the files are under that limit.

Thanks Noah, that will be helpful at least we’ll be able to if something is happening. I usually use 1920px on long edge now, they’re usually around 3Mb I think.

Thanks for the upload progress visual. That’s excellent! I have a similar comment to Andrew. The images that I tried to upload unsuccessfully were no larger than 5Mb.
