Facebook Not Uploading Photos: Why?
Have you ever experienced issues with Facebook not uploading your photos? Let’s explore some possible reasons why this might be happening.
Browser Compatibility
If you are still having trouble, try using a different web browser to see if the issue persists. It’s also a good idea to check your internet connection to ensure it is stable and strong enough to support the upload process.
If all else fails, try uploading the photos from a different device, such as a camera or email, to see if the issue is specific to your current device.
Photo Format Restrictions

|---|---|
| JPEG | No restrictions |
| PNG | No restrictions |

When trying to upload photos to Facebook, make sure your images are in one of the supported formats and within the file size limit to avoid any issues.
