How do I upload a photo to Reddit if the file size is too big?

I'm trying to upload this one photo but I'm totally hitting a wall, no matter how much I shrink it. What gives? It says mine is like 160-something KB, but the limit is only 9... and I already resized it down to like 480 pixels...

try asking that a different way so people actually get what you're after🙂

Hey, I’m trying to upload a photo from my camera roll to Reddit, but even after resizing it, it keeps saying it’s too big.

Dude, you're trying to upload it as an attachment (), which means you're capped at 9.8kB.
Just host the pics on Instagram instead, it's already all laid out in the Microsoft guide.🙂
