It’s highly likely that the photo you want to use is too big.
On a pc you can use Paint to resize it smaller.

No great when the pics are on my phone though.

Cable with usb at one end, and phone connection plug the other.
I use Irfanview for all things photo wise

Cabby, right click the photo file and hit “propertiesâ€
What is the size of the file in Mb?

Open it in paint
Resize it smaller, then save the result and try again 👍

I can't even get photos off my phone onto my laptop these days. It was dead easy when I had an iPhone - when plugged into my laptop the iPhone appeared as device and the folders containing the photos were visible so just a copy or move. But I've moved to a LG (Android) and though it appears as a device I can't see any photo folders and I have no idea how to get them off - online searches indicate having to download and install special software - is that really required?
Do you back up your pictures automatically to the cloud? I have a free Google account, gmail, photo's etc. The pictures back up to there and if I want to put them onto my computer, onto here etc then you sign in to your google account on any device and download from there. Ridiculously simple, no app or software required. (I have a Samsung S7, Android device)

You could try emailing them from your phone to your laptop email addy. Otherwise it's just a case of locating the folder with piccies in, not always obvious but spend a little time and you will find them.

No.
When the device appears on yor PC you should be able to click on it (make sure your phone isn't 'locked' otherwise nothing will happen), then you will see all the folders. Navigate to the one marked camera or DCIM and the pics are in there, you can just drag and drop them anywhere onto your PC.

Strange, I always found Android (Samsung) devices to be much easier to hook up to PC's than Iphones.
Photos are fine on my Iphone but music etc is a massive PITA.

Thanks all. I'll try again - though I can see the phone on my Laptop when I click on it to open it to show folders nothing shows (or it doesn't open). And I am currently reduced to Emailing photos.
I will check about having it linked to a cloud account. I should be able to do that as it's a work phone and I use company cloud secure storage rather than having any work docs actually sitting on my laptop.

When you plug your Android phone to lap top, the default is "Charge Mode". You need to click on "usb charge" or whatever it says on the phone and tick one of "Transfer Files, Transfer Photos" option. You will then see all the folders on the laptop as normal.

I had never noticed that pop up on my phone - but just plugged the USB cable in - and it did - and I changed the option - AND IT WORKS - you genius
Why on earth was that not pointed out when I looked on-line for help...NUTS!

With my Andoid phone you have to switch between using cable for charging and using cable for file transfer before you can download photos. I then have to switch to the appropriate directory with the phone hierarchy to download.
