Fix upload problems on mobile or desktop
What to try when a photo upload stalls, fails, or attaches the wrong file.
Updated 2026-05-074 min read
Use this guide when a photo upload fails, stalls, or does not appear in your project.
Try these first
- Confirm it is an image file (not a PDF or video).
- Try a smaller file: compress or resize to around 5 MB or less.
- Switch networks (Wi‑Fi vs mobile) and retry.
- Refresh the page once to confirm the upload did not complete silently.
- Try another browser (or another device).
Mobile-specific tips
- If the camera picker is flaky, pick from your photo library instead.
- Keep the browser in the foreground during upload; backgrounding can pause transfers.
- If the picker is empty, check photo-library permissions for your browser in phone settings.
If uploads keep failing
Contact Oona and include your device, browser, approximate file size, and any error message you saw.
