Why do I get error when try to upload a photo?

I gave up trying to upload an actual photo and just took a photo of my dinner because I can’t post without a photo. Why does it keep giving me an error? I’ve tried different image sizes.

Thumbnail showed Meatloaf, mash, and yams. Was pleasantly surprised.
- Could be papaya, pineapple and blood sausage.
  
  It's clearly chocolate cake, pineapple, and carrot.
- From the image, the left could have been carrot, the center piece pineapple, and the right one something black pudding-ish. The usual cafeteria dog food.
- Both options would be delicious
Which error are you getting? Lemmy can be weird sometimes! If you're getting an invalid token error the only means of rectifying it that I've found is to make the image both small in resolution and also a JPEG.

Also, thanks for making me hungry! 😂
I often get an error when uploading pics I've taken on my pixel - figured out it's something to do with the motion capture thing it does to get the best shot, the way to fix is just crop the photo a little, that forces it to resave as a single image and then it works fine
Locking for rule 5.
What's the error? I had issues trying to upload photos taken on my pixel 3a. They were getting blocked by cloudflare. I traded some messages with an admin and even provided a raw photo. They looked into it, found something, adjusted it, and... still no dice.

I have no issues with my new OnePlus 12. For my 3a, editing the photos in any app, even just to very slightly crop them, would remove whatever was going on.
Have you tried converting it to a webp first? That usually solves it for me.
Are you in Brazil?
- The food is.
