If you post frequently on X, formerly known as Twitter, then you must have encountered an error where your media file was unable to upload. Now, this error has been there for a while, and there is not a lot of information about what causes it or how to fix it. After testing multiple methods to resolve, we have found four working solutions. In this article, let’s see how you can fix issues related to uploading media files on X or Twitter.

Why Can’t You Upload Images on X

Now, if you are facing errors multiple times while uploading your photos or videos, then there might be some issues in your media files. There are certain limitations around the videos and images you can upload to X/Twitter. You can learn about all those limitations here. Furthermore, you can also check your Data Saver settings, along with the format of the media you are trying to upload. Now, it can also be just bad internet coverage around you, so leave no stone unturned.

Method 1: Check Your Data Usage Settings

The issue might be related to your data usage settings for the app. When the data saver mode is activated, it can stop you from posting media files that are of high quality or larger in terms of file size. So, to check this, follow the steps mentioned below.

1. Tap on the profile icon on the top left of your device.

2. From there, tap on Settings and privacy.

3. Scroll down and tap on Accessibility, display, and languages.

4. Finally, tap on Data usage and toggle off the Data saver option.

5. Also, to enable high-quality media uploads, tap on High-quality image uploads and then select Mobile data or wi-fi.

Method 2: Turn off System-wide Data Saver mode

The above-discussed error can also occur if you have enabled a system-wide Data Saver mode. Here is how you can fix it.

1. Head over to settings and from there tap on Mobile network.

2. From there, click on Data usage, and then on Data savings.

3. Toggle off the Data saving option, and your error will be fixed.

For iPhones, go to Settings > Mobile Service > Low Data Mode and toggle it off.

Method 3: Try converting the Format of your media file

As we learned earlier, X/Twitter supports specific image and video formats. Furthermore, if you have your media files in any other format that is not supported by X/Twitter, then you can simply change the format of that file. You can use Iloveimg for images, and for videos, you can use Cloudconvert.
