FAQ


Why did my file fail to upload?
If an image has failed to upload, a few different things may be happening:

  1. If the file is over 1GB in size, it will fail to upload. We recommend keeping all images below 1M and videos below 100MB.

  2. If the file name includes any special characters ( *, $, ( ), %, &, @ ) the image will fail to upload. Dashes ( - and _ ) are OK to use.
