as noted in the guide, the size limits on the list are apparently incorrect.
i know one person who has been able to upload an image file as large as 1.2MB, but anything larger will probably fail.

zip files are not the answer.

we need to compress our images so they take up less storage space.
i have always compressed mine to not more than 1MB.
that way people with slow internet don't have to wait forever for the photo to load.

if you google "compress photos" you will get a lot of free and easy options for doing that.
i tested this one and thought it pretty easy.
