Cannot upload profile picture

[zindel]

I need to upload the profile picture for more than a day now, but server doesn't permit me to do so. Tried with different files (JPG, PNG, 16–50 Kb). The problem happens when picture is sent to the https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/api/v2/profile/me/portrait

The response sent by server is not informative and looks like this: {"error":{"code":500,"message":"We can't complete your request now. Please try again later."},"traceId":"4ed67cb09bb53dd6-PRG"}. Also, attaching screenshot.

Please help, I cannot proceed to proper profile creation & verifiication without it. The picture is required field, unfortunately.

Thanks!

Goran, I did try all the combinations of clearing cookies and using different browsers (Chrome & FF). Nothing really helped.

Hi. I'm having a similar issue. I'm try to start a profile but it won't allow me to continue. It won't allow me to upload any photos. I tried different devices and get the same result.

Hi Jive, 

Does the issue persist when you try to upload the image through a web browser on your desktop or laptop computer?

Yes. I get the same result on my laptop as I do on my phone.

Hi Jive,

Can you please check if the image you're trying to upload is in .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .png format and at least 250px by 250px? Also, make sure that it's a clear photo of yourself, not a long shot and your face is clearly visible. If it meets those requirements and you still can't upload it then please try clearing your cache and cookies and using a different browser to check if the problem persists.

Thank you!
