To be frank, what is available in one website as far as image format is concerned may be different from others. Really, the image format that supports in website A might not be the case for site B. To upload a picture, one must take into cognizance the image format needed so as not to have any problem.

What I’m talking about is when it is mandatory for you to upload your picture maybe for email-stuff, online-registration or online-dating, online-banking etc. Have you ever wondered in one way or the other when you want to upload a file/image and you are being alerted that the image is not supported, too large or too small? Yes, that is one of the things I’m talking about here. As a result of this, in
