Why are photos not being sent?

If, when uploading a photo to the VK website or simply dragging it from a folder, page, or desktop, an error message appears, the reasons may be as follows.

1. Incorrect aspect ratio. The picture is too wide or long. In this case, you can crop the photo in any available editor on your computer or smartphone.
2. Unsupported format. You need JPEG, PNG, or an animated GIF image. Select these types of files to send. If the image you want to send is saved in a rare, unsupported format, you can use an image converter to quickly change the file format. For example, the free service online-convert.com will do this in a matter of seconds.

1. The file size is too large. Files larger than 10 MB are not accepted. This problem can also be solved using an online converter or special image compression utilities, such as Image Resizer.

1. The mobile application does not have access to the phone's camera or gallery content. These functions are enabled in application settings, as well as in the menu of the smartphone operating system itself.
2. There is no Internet access or the connection speed is too slow to send images. Check your computer's network connection. When using a smartphone, make sure that you are using fast mobile Internet (4G, Wi-Fi, LTE), and not a GSM or 3G network, the speed of which will not be enough to download high-quality images.

These simple steps will help solve the problem, and you can send the photo to your wall, to a group, or in a private message.

The third method will allow you to insert almost any image you find on the Internet.
