Every time I try to attach a pic even if only one pic it goes on to say the file is too large. What file is too large? Am I suppose to transfer them before I try to post.  
Any help is greatly appreciated.  Sorry for being Smart Phone stupid. 
Thank you. 

I use postimages.org. When selecting which link to use, I use the second from the top.

Glenn has a pinned thread in Everything Else with a link to pic resize.  That's what I use.  It works well and you can change the formatting too.

You can email your pics to yourself & when prompted select the size you want to use small, medium or large. Just keep the file size under 1.0 MB.

That's what I do too.

On mine I hit actual size button first then go from there, trying small medium or large until it takes

Another easy reduction method is to open an image in your windows operating system app called "paint" and at the top is a button that says "resize" and all you gotta do is change the percentage from 100% down to whatever you want and then click save.

 

Paint shows you full size image as is so you get a good idea of size.

 

You can also edit portions of the image and eliminate unnecessary portions of an image if you want to bring out something within the photo. Simply click on the dotted square box at top of paint and highlight the section of photo you want and click "copy" and then clear the palette and click paste to repost what you wanted to edit out and click save.

 

Another good photo hosting site is cubeupload. No compression of images and keeps original files intact. Some other image hosting sites are now reducing and compressing images to save space and reducing image resolution quality as well. This host site does not have editing ability.

 

Once you host an image just copy and paste URL link into a comment and this forum is setup for automatic embedding. Also included in that automatic embedding is auto resizing to fit forum. So even if you posted a large image the auto resizing adjusts it to fit the forum. At least that has been my experience here.

 

I've posted images of various sizes but they all seem to come out about the same on the forum. So it works.

Resize the picture on the phone. Click the edit button(mine is a pencil icon). After that top right is 3 dots.... Click on the 3 dots and resize is 1 of the options. I change to the lowest resolution to fit on bass resource.

 

Find a teenager to show you how.

I use an image size app.  I choose 640x640 for this site.

Yes. My grandkids. 

Is it an iPhone or iPad?

If so go to photos

click on the photo you want to post

at the bottom right you’ll see two slider bars, tap on those

 

It will bring up a resize menu,

choose medium or small

tap done then “add”

Not a dumb question, I literally just did a google search because I also am trying to post a picture.

 

My search led to THIS post.  LOL

Yeah, Glenn certainly has his SEO set up nicely. I too get multiple returns of Bass Resource on my interweb searches.

 

To the OP.

I know you got your answers but basically  your pictures are too big to post. There's as many ways to resize pictures as there are systems and apps. Either do an internet search on how to resize pics with your systems or find a gen z'r.
