Troubleshooting

My photo won't upload

• Check that your photo is in a supported format (PNG, JPEG, GIF, HEIC, or HEIF)
• Make sure your photo is under 25 MB
• Check your internet connection - large files require a stable connection
• Try refreshing the page and uploading again
• If the problem persists, try converting your image to JPEG format

I can't add more than 10 photos

• The maximum number of photos per post is 10
• If you need to share more photos, consider creating multiple posts
• You can remove existing photos to make room for new ones

My photos are in the wrong order

• You can rearrange photos by dragging them in the preview
• Click and hold on a photo, then drag it to the desired position
• The order in the preview is how they'll appear in your published post

My photo looks blurry or low quality

• Make sure you're uploading the original, high-quality version of your photo
• Check that your photo isn't being compressed before upload
• Use JPEG format for photos (it's optimized for photographic content)
• Ensure your photo is at least 1000px wide for best display quality

Adding Photos to Reposts

When reposting content, you can add photos to your repost commentary:

• Start creating a repost
• Add your commentary text
• Click the photo icon to add photos to your repost
• Your photos will appear above the original content in the repost
