Hi @MyEyes thanks for sharing, but two bits of feedback for you - firstly that isn’t Melbourne Museum in your photos, that is the Melbourne Exhibition Building. Melbourne Museum is behind it. Make sure you always share your images to the right place on Maps.

Secondly, you should consider sharing the photos not screen shots for more impact as it will make a more attractive post.

Thanks ,I will delete and repost with corrections ,I used screen shots because original files too large to upload .

I use https://squoosh.app/ for resizing - its simple and usually one button click to make a file that will work with connect. Works fine on mobile and computer and other formats. While it is web based the image processing is done on your device minimizing privacy concerns.

@MyEyes I’ve made a quick tutorial post for Squoosh at https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Easy-photo-resizing-for-Connect-using-Squoosh/m-p/3696150#M1415749 given its a pretty common issue the users of Connect face each day.
