Problems uploading photo to website on Safari 15 or Firefox

I'm looking to update a photo to a website on the Safari 15 browser. I've never had a problem until today - I've tried uploading it to a few different sites and it won't work. I've switched browsers to Firefox and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

What is the file type of the photo? If you are using the out-of-the-box Apple heic file, from your photo library, many sites will not accept that type. You need to first convert it to a jpg, png, etc. before uploading. The easiest way is to just drag the photo out of your photo library, onto your desktop. Then, just upload it from the desktop location instead.
