Attaching photos to a post

A good photo is worth a thousand words — especially after an event. Here's how to add one to your post.

Step 1 — Open the post composer

Open the feed (or your group), and click into the post composer at the top. Or, on an existing post you wrote, open the three-dot menu and pick Edit post.

Step 2 — Click the paperclip

On the left side of the composer's bottom toolbar is a single paperclip icon (tooltip: Attach files). Click it and a file picker opens. There is no separate camera or photo button — the paperclip handles photos, files, and short videos.

Step 3 — Choose a photo

Pick a photo from your computer or phone. The site uploads it straight away. While it's uploading you'll see a small box with the filename and an Uploading... N% progress bar. When it finishes, the file becomes a small chip — a thumbnail of the image plus the filename — that sits in a row above your writing area, not inside the post itself.

Adding more than one

Click the paperclip again to add another. You can attach up to 10 files per post (with at most one video among them).

Sizes and formats

JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP are accepted (HEIC photos from a recent iPhone are not — convert them first). The cap per image is 25 megabytes. If an upload fails, you'll see a red filename — failed chip and a snackbar at the bottom of the screen explaining why.

Removing a photo

Each chip in the row above the composer has a small × on its right edge — click it to remove that attachment. After posting, use Edit post from the three-dot menu and remove it the same way.

Photos of other people

A friendly rule of thumb: if you can't see someone clearly enough to recognize them, you don't need to ask. If you can, ask first.
