dancnbutterfly,

Are you saying that you are trying to update a photo from your iPhone to your computer? If so, see below:

Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Good luck.

I was uploading a photo from my iPhone X to an online app. I got an error message from the app that my photos’ file size was too large to upload.

Email the photo to yourself from your iPhone, and after hitting "Send" you should get a dialogue box:-

This was produced in my 6s, so the sizes on offer will be different on your X. Select a reduced size, and send.

Open the email on your iPhone, and save the reduced-size file, then upload that one to the site.

That is what I did. I was hoping there was a way that was a bit faster within the iPhone, specifically in photos or the camera.
