    All my photos are jpg. The only immediate problem I can think is they are bigger than 15MB. https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-upload-photos-or-documents-to-memories

    JPG should work. But if you have any that have extension.jpeg. Try renaming it to .jpg and see if that makes a difference (remove the letter e from the extension. See if that helps

    Further to what 'Dennis' has already proffered ...

    .

    Please be aware that there is a Maximum "File" Size LIMIT of 15MB.

    .

    Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

    How do I upload memories to FamilySearch?

    https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/how-do-i-upload-photos-or-documents-to-memories

    .

    Where it states:

    Quote

    ------------------

    For Photos, .jpg, .png, .tif, and .bmp file formats up to 15MB.

    ------------------

    .

    Just in case.

    15MB is usually plenty of room for a photo

    if anyone has images greater than 15MB - they should seriosuly consider setting their resolution settings lower on their camera. above 15MB - just makes thing painfully slow when doing file transfers or any procesing of the image - and for no good reason.
