iPadOS files wont load image preview

Hey there! I have some files in my iPad and they won’t load the “preview image”. I’ve never encountered this before and was wondering why it happens. I wasn’t sure what to search for so I figured maybe I can have a little help here? I added the picture down below.

Thank you!

Files app continually reloading Since the update to iOS 15 on my iPad Pro, my files app will not allow me to view .NEF files without continually reloading them. I can view the thumbnail just fine. However, when I select a thumbnail to view, it opens and closes the picture continually. This was never an issue until the recent update. Anybody familiar with this issue? Any fixes?

Files on IPad Glitch out and cannot be previewed. Hello. I have the newest IPad Pro and I’m an illustrator and graphic designer. I’ve noticed every so often I have files that are .png, .tiff or .jpeg that flash on screen a few times and then disappear with only the file info without the preview. Some files are completely fine but others aren’t. It seems to be a commonality in certain folders. It’s frustrating because often times I have to reference these photos and would rather just quickly pop back and forth between windows to do so rather than importing them to my illustration programs. For context, usually these images are saved from clip studio into sub folders on the “On my IPad” root folder. I have combed through support forums but usually any answers are for Mac computers and typically focus on a specific file type like .tiff or pdf. Example of .tiff not previewing. Example of the preview program flashing and glitching. Example of .png also not previewing. Has anyone else experienced something like this? And are there any fixes out there? Or is it just a technical glitch with the specific apps I’m using? Any info would be great. Thank you.

Figured it out!

Files are too large so they won’t load, 😅
