I want to upload a picture to one of my questions, but I keep trying different forms of the picture, but none of them work.
Failed to upload image; the format is not supported
I have tried PNG and JPEG. What formats are acceptable?

What's the size of the image? There's a 2 mb limit.– CatijaJun 13, 2018 at 15:21

@NogShine Thanks, I just needed to save the image instead of using the link– PotatoLatteJun 13, 2018 at 15:22

@Catija when the image is over 2 mb it shows a message that it's over 2 mb.– WelzJun 13, 2018 at 17:04

@WELZ it doesn't always... I had it giving me a generic error message the other day when trying to upload a GIF... making it smaller fixed the problem but it never told me that the size was bad.– CatijaJun 13, 2018 at 17:06

PNG, JPEG, GIF are all supported formats, your particular images were likely not encoded properly.
I would suggest trying to open them in MS Paint (or any other basic image editing software) and then saving it through there.

This doesn't fully answer the question of which image formats are acceptable.– tparkerDec 5, 2021 at 0:12
