Photos can’t be any larger than 640 x 480. I have to use a ReSIZER app to downsize my photos to be able to post them.

If
You’re doing on your phone you can choose the size of the photo, “medium” works for me. On IPhone it’s the title blue slider looking icon in the bottom right when you go to select a photo

I use a free Simple ReSIZER app and never had any cost involved.
