Advice on uploading pics


letsmile

Recommended Posts

i'd love to upload more pics but seem to be getting beaten by technology 😁 I joined flickr but unable to load photos from my iphone as they're in a format I don't, and flickr doesn't seem to, recognise - called HEIC 🤔

Does anyone have and advice they could impart? Thanks for the help 👍

Imgur.

Set up account.

Upload your pic.

Click on the thumbnail to enlarge, you will then see this format;

Click on the blue "Copy" box next to "Direct link" and this will copy the link, then simply paste the link in your post.

IIRC,  EHIC is the native apple photo format. You will need to convert them to .jpg or similar to use images here. Not sure you can do this on your apple device or download an app. Not an apple user myself. Imgur is similar to flickr not sure if Imgur can use EHIC

Guys - I think I just uploaded a pic, so hope it got through ok 🤞 for info, the screen looked a little different to the one above for some reason

Nothing showing. If you do it correctly, when you paste the link the picture will appear before you submit the post.

Just a tip for anyone struggling with the apple format.    I found the easiest way to convert from HEIC to jpeg is to drop the apple photos into an intermediate directory (via the files app). And then upload/copy from there, this seems to automatically change the format.  Though I don’t think I’ve had any issues uploading the apple format to Flickr.

right I’ve just experimented with that post images site.   You don’t even need an account,  just select the upload images link, when uploaded it gives a load of links.   As above.   The ‘direct link’ can just be pasted into you post and the photo will show.

the other links above in theory should show thumbnails but don’t seem to work on this forum.
