90% of my pictures say they are too big to upload😢

you may need to downsize it from the raw image before posting it? there may be a setting on your camera or phone to take pictures of certain resolutions so it doesn't use up so much space and make such large files.

for example with my camera a picture can take up 22M with the NEF raw imagine, my post processing jpg file may go up to 33M. then i use gimp to downsize it, edit, adjust exposure, etc. before i put it on my website.

they arent all raw but yeah i can do something. I was thinking about just screenshotting them. Would a screenshot be acceptable?

i'm not the rulemaker for POW pictures, but i think they want something better than a screenshot. :)

i don't have a website for only explicitly photography, mostly the gardens and other odd projects and i don't consider myself an expert at all as i really still struggle with getting certain pictures to turn out.
