A simple checklist for fixing photo upload failures while creating or updating a loved one or pet memorial.

Ready to preserve memories in one place?

Start with a name, dates, and one photo. Stories, albums, and messages can grow over time.

Check the file first

Large files, unusual formats, damaged images, and file names with special characters can cause upload trouble. Try a common image format and a shorter file name.

Check the connection

An unstable network may interrupt uploads, especially with old family photos scanned at high resolution. Use a stable connection and avoid switching networks during upload.

Try one change at a time

Resize the image, save a new copy, or upload from another browser. Keep the original photo safe while testing. Once the upload works, add a caption so the memory is easier to understand later.

Begin gentlyKeep remembrance in a place your family can return to.

A memorial can start small and become richer as relatives add photos, stories, and messages.
