Interesting. Do you have the camera set up to take square pictures?

it's set up like it came out of the box.
It's like you don't know me at all.
Hey, at least I took the plastic film off the lens of this one.

Go ahead and upload whatever you have.

I'll drop out, then!

Sorry! A lot of my "tweaking" of photos is done to take out house, car, or people images that I'm not comfortable sharing online. I've loved looking at everyone's pictures, though!

It's still small. You should set up your phone to upload your original images to your Google drive. If you have a halfway modern phone, that picture should be at least 3000 pixels wide, by 4000 pixels tall.

Your small image inserted into the calendar looks like this:
View attachment 3729138

If we had the larger image, it wouldn't be as blurry.

I set it up to use Google Photos now, and it uploaded all of them but it did not change the size. At least maybe this will improve my photos in the future as I was just saving them in the cloud photos on the phone and that must've been shrinking them to save phone memory.

I have to too. But it was a learning experience!

I understand. Large images attached/uploaded to posts get resized to 2000 pixels wide, which is too small for the calendar. Can your files named 20220525_174644.jpg, 20220715_200448.jpg, Resized_20230110_151207.jpeg, 20230322_162912.jpg just like you did for your posts?

When we say "upload originals", it doesn't mean you have to upload the original, unedited version. Your edited ones will be fine. The problem we have is people uploading screenshots, thumbnails, images they saved on Facebook, etc. For the calendar, we need images that are pretty close to 3000 pixels wide by 2000 pixels tall. Images smaller than that have to be upsized, and upsizing them makes them blurry.

Is this what they need to be or what do they need to be?
I'm betting mine are too small too.

Google Photos is "cloud"... While you're in Google photos, go to the settings and make sure you have this backup option checked:

I don't think I can - those images are the originals, straight from the source, so I suppose they're as big as they can get.
