Unable to save Google Photos despite free space

The reason is that many Khan Academy's images use .svg format which iOS/iPadOS/macOS Photos does not support.

So I see the same thing with:

Google search "mitosis khan academy", click "Images", click that "mitosis" image (in the original post) to open it in larger format (now with transparent .svg background), long-click > Save to Photos. Result: no image is saved to Photos.

A suboptimal workaround:

Google search "mitosis khan academy", click "Images", long-click the (thumbnail) image > Save to Photos. Result: a low-resolution web page thumbnail is saved to Photos.

The best quality but clumsy workaround: Open the actual Khan Academy web page and scroll to that "mitosis" image, then open it and save as .svg and use some image processing app to convert it to a format (.jpg for example) that Photos supports. This is most easily done on the macOS but I could via some clumsy workflows save the .svg to iOS/iPadOS Files.app for further conversions with some 3rd party app.

Or just take a screenshot.

I have 20 gigs of storage free, it should be fine and I am still able to screenshot things.

Original Title: cant save google photo to photos

This is a good question to ask google support or look at their help site, since you're using their app.

This happens in safari, too. No notification like this, but nothing downloads. It not a google issue

is that what google support told you?

No. The issue is occurring across all search engines.

And what did Google support say? I've asked you about that 3 times already.
