I can't upload my photos, why?

There are some reasons that may cause your upload to be unsuccessful. We have documented some reasons why below, and how to solve the problem.

“Credits Required - You require more credits to upload all photos. Purchase credits now?”

At the moment, ZenFotomatic allows users who have credits remaining have up to 200,000 photos on their account.

However, if you have no credits remaining and your account reaches over 100 photos, the pop up below will appear.

The way around this is to either:

  • Delete some of the photos you no longer need and replace them with the photos you wish to upload so you do not pass the 100 photo limit; OR

  • Purchase credits so your storage limit goes from 100 to 200,000.

Some photos are missing?

Please check the file name of your photos. If there are duplicate file names, the latter will not be uploaded. Also, when uploading images on ZenFotomatic, please do not include these characters in the filename:

¥ / : * ? “ < > | # + %

Unfortunately if you use any of these characters, you'll be met with an error on ZenFotomatic. Please change your filenames to avoid the hassle before doing a mass upload.

You may be logged in on another browser/computer

Make sure you log out of all other browsers before using ZenFotomatic. 

Tried to upload more than 2000 photos at once?

Unfortunately the upload limit on ZenFotomatic is 2000 photos. However, keep in mind that you can only drag and drop only 100 photos at a time.

Unfortunately this was not our decision but a browser limitation. The way around this is to either go through the ‘Upload’ button, or, drag and drop a zip file with your 2000 files on it.
