How to upload photo evidence

On each key area of your evidence plan, you have the option to add photo evidence.

You can upload up to 10 files at a time in any of the following formats, as long as they are all less than 10MB per file.

Accepted file types

To see what size or type your file is, find the file wherever it is saved on your computer and right click it, then click on properties.

Changing your file type

If you discover that your file is not one of the above file types, you will need to change it. Here are some quick tips to do this:

Using a Microsoft Windows PC

Right click the file, click ‘Open with’ and choose ‘Paint’. Then go to File > Save as and save your file as one of the accepted file types.

Using a Mac PC

Open the file, click File > Export and choose one of the accepted file types from the pop-up menu.

Errors uploading

When you receive errors using our file uploader, please ensure you’ve checked you meet all the above criteria and that you have a stable internet connection. You can always come back and try again later, and sometimes using a different internet browser (e.g. Firefox, Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge) can help.It might also be worth asking another contributor on your application to try uploading the file too. Follow our guidance on how to add a contributor to your application.
