You need an intervention.
No, not that kind of intervention, the kind where you save your Android image as a web ready image. I'll be right back...

Start there, unless you have a photo handling program in your computer already.

You may be able to adjust the size of your saved pictures your phone takes right in your phone in settings. So that might be a better place to begin.

I plug my Android phone into a USB port of my computer and it opens all the pictures stored on my phone. Annoying, but I just wait for it. Then check the pictures I want to save, and a file folder for them. I use a file I named Smoking Meat Forums for pictures for here. (I'm incredibly simple minded...o_O)
When I select a picture(s), it saves them in a more web ready size. The file extension .jpg is the standard image format for the web. That was decided on before there was an Internet, back in the Bulletin Board days of computer to computer data communication, and for email transfer of image files.

My phone takes hugieo pictures as well. (Samsung) But huge pictures are NOT web friendly. So they need to be compressed down into something that can fly well.

I hope Johnny (Rings-R-Us) finds this and can help. He uses ONLY his phone for the Internet and he posts lots of great pictures direct from his phone. I'll message him a link.

But yes, in this day of pixel mania, where image files can overwhelm a hard drive, they have to be compressed into a size that flies.

I have only had this happen to me if I try to "crop" an image from somewhere that I had done from a screen shot. I can't remember how I made it usable.

So, I guess I need a computer?

Maybe not Jesse.
See if you can't save your pictures as a smaller sized file.
It might be just that simple. ;)

You take the pic on your phone and try to send it? Your not trying to send something copied right?

Nope. Just took a pic of LJ run today with my phone and tried to put on this and it says file to big

How do I do that? I don't see an option for that on phone. This guy is just a retired dirty shirt lineman, if it doesn't run on 2 stroke or diesel, it confuses me.

You go to send a pic and you see the choose a file screen right?

And then you hit documents..... or camera if your taking a pic right then?

Well, Hi Ya electrical brother!
Let's all get on the same page, What phone brand do you have? (So I can see if I can look it up on the Internet.)
Make
Model Number
Anything else to help us look up how to get you working.

Just generics Jesse. No phone number or any personal info.

If Johnny and I can get on the same page here, maybe the 3 of us can get something figured out.
Maybe not tonight, but we can work on it.
Would it be better if we went to "Conversation Mode", that's like Private Messenger, and the 3 of us could bat ideas around.

In the interim I found this Jesse.
I hope you can see it. I gives examples for one type of phone, might work for yours. ;)

Yep! I just cropped a pic and it posted on a private conversation, so I will try that.
