Hello, I got errors when passing images in the wrong file format, so we try jpeg and png. But still sometimes, we get this error: ![8D99809D-B65E-4FA3-AE6D-30B1C02D6DF1_1_105_c](https://forum.xojo.com/uploads/default/original/3X/8/c/8c9c1a24bd950c9c4e57a8a05afdb0d31a6ba386.jpeg) What is it about? ---

Have you filed an issue and attached a sample project? 😉 ---

Let me try ![IMG_0668](https://forum.xojo.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/1/11e51c077d6d9de3aaade16d56375f2d81954315.jpeg) Now it works. Seems to be a random problem every nth time. ---

> [@Christian\_Schmitz](#): > > Seems to be a random problem every nth time Can you compress the pictures before uploading? Maybe that will help. I saw that you uploaded 2.x-3.x MB pictures to the forum during the conference (this one is 2.79 MB) but sometimes during you uploaded pictures at around 1/10th that size (280KB or so). ---

Well, sometimes it works and sometimes not. The one above is uploaded with the mobile website and I pick from photo library. The smaller ones is if you copy & paste them on a Mac, where Photos app gives you a smaller one. Maybe someone can check what exec does when you put in a picture: /var/www/discourse/lib/discourse.rb: 138:in ‘exec’: and find a log folder? ---

I’m sorry if my intention was not clear, my comment was just a suggestion as a ‘workaround’ (so you can finish uploading the conference pictures) until someone from Xojo can take a look at the forum logs/configuration and fix the problem. ---

I enjoyed some pictures in the big, natural format, though. Looked nicer than if they were reduced.
