I am still having an issue with uploading the photo. 

 

I was using the app to create the profile and upload the photo, but when I wasn't able to upload the photo, I switched to Google Chrome. The problem still persisted. 

 

Even though the original photo I took was well under the 5 MB and under the 4,000 by 4,000 size, I still tried cropping down the photo to make it work. It still didn't work.

I cant upload any photo. The photo that I want to upload to my profile meets all the requirements they ask for.

Why won't Upwork let me upload a profile picture? I have been trying for most of this morning to figure out why I can't upload a profile picture. There is a round circular icon with a plus sign which says "Add Portrait" and when I click on it, it goes to the my profile page. On that, a placeholder is shown for the photo with no way to upload a different one. Someone please help!

Dear Upwork Support Team,

 

I hope this email finds you well. My name is Tulimar Quintero, and my associated email with my Upwork account is **Edited for Community Guidelines**. I am reaching out to you regarding a problem I am encountering while attempting to upload my profile photo on the platform.

 

My photo has all these: 

  • It is at least 250 x 250 pixels
  • It is no more than 4000 x 4000 pixels 
  • The extension is .jpeg or .png 

Please find attached my photo. 

 

Best regard,

I am also having issues uploading my profile photo. I have taken all of the recommended measures:

 

-This is an original un-altered photo of me

-Photo is minimally 250x250

-Photo size is 96.3 KB

-Tried using incognito mode

-Tried a different browse

-Cleared cookies and cash

 

Nothing has worked. Some assistance would be appreciated.
