I wanted to upload a latest acquisition. I repeatedly downsized both files with my software. One I managed to upload. The other I gave up on. Both my software and file manager show the files as well below the 300 KB limit, but I keep getting the error message. This has never happened before and I have uploaded many files. I thought I should post about this. Maybe others are experiencing the problem.

What image processing software are you using? Just curious.

Interesting. I generally use the free Fastone Image Viewer https://www.faststone.org/ since it can save into jpg (ctrl+s) such as from having an initial png image and can adjust compression of the jpg as well, plus change resolutions (ctrl+r), up or down without loss, can also crop, rotate (r) and adjust colors lighting and contrast etc. For this site it appears to have to be both .gif, .jpg, .jpeg and under 300kb so I can understand a lot of non tekkies having issues. 800 width or 600 seems to work better leaving the height to readjust or even 500x500 . Bobby should figure it out but if not let me know. I'm sure most are using pixlr since its what is suggested on the forum so might be related to the software your using. Edited by datadragon

On irfan view make sure you set the file size to 299k and remember when selecting the file make sure you are uploading the file you resized. I had the same issue and it was user error, with me being the error as I was uploading the not resized file.

300 KB is actually waaaayyyy more than needed. The following 3 images are 800 pixels across. 2 are jpgs and 65% and 85% compression. 282KB and 160KB. One I converted to webp using Irfanview which is 119KB. I cannot tell any of them apart. 65% compression jpg is plenty for viewing online. Webp is preferred.    |

I am currently dealing with this issue.
I am using the site suggested Pixlr and my images show as low as 60kb and the width is in the 500s and yet I still get rejected, saying that my images are over 300kb. I am saving my resized images into a different folder I have label "Forum Posts" which differs from the images original folder location labeled "Pennies."
I don't seem to have issues uploading 1 image (typically the Obverse) but when it comes to uploading the Reverse. I get the oversize issue.
I had this issue last night and was going to post this topic. But got busy and then tired. So I went to bed. This morning I was going to start this topic with my issue, but decided to give my post in the variety and errors section one last try and it worked (hmmm that's odd). So then I went on to upload again in the same thread with a few more photos. I get the first one done, no problem. But then every other image I tried uploading, was giving me the "over 300kb" issue again.
What could be the problem?

When in doubt, clearing your browser cache usually helps. This is a general rule, not just for uploading photos to CCF.
