I am having trouble with uploading my photo and after I filled out my profile and the other information, it did not save because all of the field requirements weren't met.

Hi Brenda,

 

Could you please try uploading a different photo? Make sure the photo isn't too dark, is not a long shot and your face is clearly visible.

 

Thanks.

I am still having trouble with uploading my profile picture. I have tried several times and I have even tried downloading a different photograph. And since I can not upload my profile picture, It will not let me save any of my information.

 

I would really like to get this fixed so that I can start on my business. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you

Brenda Ellis

Hi Millicent,

 

Please make sure your face photo is clearly visible in the photo you're uploading, which should include no more than your head and shoulders. Please let me know if you were able to upload the photo afterwards.

Hi Brenda,

 

Could you please make sure the picture you are uploading is at least 250px by 250px? Also it has to be an actual photo of you where your face is clearly visible. You can attach your picture to your reply here and I'll take a look.

I also cannot get my profile uploaded because of my picture. Your program tells me that it's not a picture of me, but it most certainly is.

Hi Peter,

 

I can actually see your photo when I go to your profile page, hence it has been uploaded successfully. Can you confirm if you see the same thing on your end? If not, can you log out then log back in.

Peter M Community Member

Yes I see it now. I had to start all over for it to work. I had to refresh the page (control-F5) and then o had to make sure choosing the image was the first thing I selected.

Previously when it failed, I had everything else already filled out. Apparently it didn’t like that.

Sorry for the trouble. I am happy the steps you took worked. Thanks for confirming.

I can't upload this into my profile.  I can't move forward without this.  I've tried numerous photos.

Hi Peter,

 

Please try to resize the image to 250x250dpi and crop it to include only your head and shoulders.

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.

I exited the upworks and came back in then it worked fine without
resizing. It was a photo from a photography shop.

Hi

 

I just signed up to Upwork. However, I can't complete my profile due to an error "Please use a photo that is at least 250px by 250px or increase crop size" and the image you attached is the image uploader shown when I tried adding my image. please contact me at *** Edited for Community Guidelines ***. My Upwork name is Marlyn Gastanes. I believe I followed the requirements but still I'm receiving the same error all over again. I tried clearing my cache and even used different browsers. Still, it's not letting me upload my photo. Please help. Thanks
