Please ensure that the file is in any of the following formats: jpg, jpeg, gif or png. Make sure that the file extension isn't saved with uppercase letters - our uploader can be a little sensitive sometimes. The bigger your photo, the longer it will take to upload but it should only take between 3 seconds and 1 minute to upload.

FAQ
Why is it asking me to crop my picture?
All of the image placeholders on GoFundMe Charity are generally rectangle, oriented in landscape format. If your photo does not fit this format already, you will be asked to crop the top and bottom edges. The best way to prevent cropping is by starting with a horizontal, rectangular image.
Why does my photo look stretched out?
Make sure that any photo you upload is at least the recommended size listed above (that just means you don't want to use really small photos or they won't look as good). If it’s smaller than the recommended size, it will be stretched to fit.
Why is my photo facing the wrong direction?
Make sure your photo is facing the right direction before you upload it. Mac computers will automatically turn your photo the correct direction on your computer, but it may not really be saved that way.
Even if it looks right on your computer, you should open it using the photo software on your computer or a free program online to double check that your photo is actually oriented in the right direction, and then save it. This way, the upload to GoFundMe Charity will be perfect.
