1. File too large: This means your image exceeds the 50MB limit. Try compressing or resizing your image and try again.

Compressing Images

Online tools like Squoosh or TinyPNG can significantly reduce file size without sacrificing quality. After compressing, reattempt your upload.

Resizing Images

Venngage recommends images between 800x600 and 3000x3000 pixels. If your image is larger, resize it using free tools like GIMP or Paint.NET, then try uploading again.

2. Unsupported file format: This error occurs when you're using a file type other than PNG, JPG, or SVG.

Convert your image to one of these formats using software like Adobe Photoshop, or use online converters such as OnlineConvertFree.

Transparency and Layers

PNG images support transparent backgrounds, which can be handy for design elements. Be sure to save your .PNG files as 'PNG 24' to retain transparency. For layered images, flatten them before upload to ensure a smooth, seamless design.
