Image Upload Guidelines

Use the specifications below when preparing images for your profile and posts. All images are capped at 500×500 px except the profile banner, which can be larger.

Unsupported Formats

HEIC / HEIF files (common on iPhones) are not supported. Please convert them before uploading.

We accept: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp, .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp

If your photo is in HEIC format, use one of the options below to convert it:

Windows 11 — Photos app

Open the HEIC file in the Photos app.

Click ⋯ → Save as (or press Ctrl+Shift+S).

Choose .jpg or .png from the file-type dropdown and save.

If Windows asks you to install "HEIF Image Extensions" from the Microsoft Store, install it first (it's free).

Mac — Preview app

Open the HEIC file in Preview (double-click usually works).

Click File → Export…

Select JPEG or PNG as the format and click Save.

iPhone / iPad — change camera settings

Go to Settings → Camera → Formats.

Select Most Compatible — future photos will save as JPEG.

Online converter

Sites like CloudConvert, Convertio, or iLoveIMG can convert HEIC to JPG/PNG in your browser — no install required.
