• "This file is too big" means you need a smaller file.
• "This file type is not supported" means you should save the photo as JPG, or use an MP4 or MOV video.
• "The upload did not finish" means you should check your internet and try again.
• AI pictures and logos you make are saved here too. See Make pictures and a logo with AI.
