You may have come across an error relating to photo invalid dimensions when you try to upload a photo to Telegram. This error occurs when you try to send or receive a photo via Telegram. This error can be caused by the settings of your device or by an issue with your network connection. You might also encounter this error if there is an issue with your camera.
In general, the error code is quite self explanatory. The Telegram application has restrictions regarding how big a photo can be. If you're trying to send a picture to a group chat and you get an error that says "invalid dimensions", this means that the photo is too big to be sent. In particular, you can only send a picture that’s within 512x512 square in size. You can try sending the photo again but it might not work.
Instead of sending the photo in picture form, you can instead send it as a file. In order to do this, you can use the feature that allows you to attach a file to a message. You can then send the file using Telegram or another messaging app. As of 2022, Telegram has a file size limit of 2 GB, which should be plenty for most people.
Aside from that, you can also try exporting or resizing the photo in the photo editor of your phone or tablet. Make sure to follow the picture restrictions as mentioned above, then try reuploading it. You can also try to contact the Telegram support team for help with this issue.
