submitting cell phone pics to Market Force

October 30, 2015 03:02PM
I filled out the survey for a Market Force shop for the first time on my smart phone. Everything went well until I tried to upload photos of my receipts. Apparently they are over the size limit. I've never had this happen when I used a scanner.

Can someone offer some advice on how to make the pictures smaller? They need to be less than 1mg and my cropped photos were 2.5.

It would be helpful if you said if your phone was Android or iOS.

There are camera apps for Android that will allow you to select a lower resolution so you don't have to process the image at all.

I like Open Camera, as it is an open source community generated free app:

[opencamera.sourceforge.net] (Main site)

[play.google.com] (Google Play Store)

Photo Settings/Camera Resolution and select a lower setting like 2048 x 1536 or 3 MP.

Thanks much. I just had to figure or how to lower the resolution. After that it worked like a charm.

On the web version of the submit form if your photo is too large, there's a resize button that I've used often. It's probably not available on the mobile version, but I just wanted to mention it. It's really easy: my iPhone photos are often too big and have to be resized by MF when I submit the report.

If you are using a PC to fill out your reports [picresize.com] works to make any photo the correct size.

No need to even use that resizer as MF will do it for you.
