Default Trying to post pictures on classified ads on TOTV

Hello people,
I'm trying to post an ad for a golf cart and it keeps telling me that my picture of the cart is bigger than 4 MB so it won't load. Pictures of the batteries, and the inside of the cart are ok, but not an exterior picture of it. I tried zooming in as close to the cart as possible, that doesn't work, zooming out doesn't either. Anybody else have had to deal with this? If so, how can I upload a pic of the exterior of the cart without being told it's too big of a file? Thanks.

I had the same issue a while back but do not exactly remember how I got it to work but I think if you take a screen shot of the picture, etc try to save in adobe, paint or other format to reduce the size might work (basically try another format). If using IOS (iPhone) you can look at the size by hitting the information button at the bottom of the picture. Not sure this helps but I just kept messing with it until I got a lower resolution format.

+1 for Taking a screen shot - that usually works.

The TOTV classifieds don’t play well with add blocker apps.

Try changing the resolution on your camera (or phone) you should be able to get it below the 4 meg limit.

Next time, give tinyjpg.com a try. It is an online utility that reduces size without reducing quality. The weight loss tool everyone likes.

Take your picture then text to your self it will ask what size you want pick medium or small you will be good to go.

Every phone gallery app has a resize option when you choose edit.
