I was trying to make a photo recognition app on my iphone 6s but when I take the photo and output the error messages it says that the “Input Image is too large”. What can i do to make it work?

Hi, @andrem248! 👋  
**Welcome to our Community! 🎉**

To resolve this problem, we would need to compress the image, as it says in the error “Image is too large”.

The best way to compress would be using Cloudinary presets, which would return the image’s direct URL after compressing it. To know more on how to apply cloudinary presets, read from #8 in this tutorial - [https://blog.thunkable.com/creating-a-qr-scanner-app-in-thunkable-x-c292479c5e9e](https://blog.thunkable.com/creating-a-qr-scanner-app-in-thunkable-x-c292479c5e9e) .

After the URL is returned, you can attach it to input area in the image recognition component.

Hope I helped you! 😄  
Thanks! 😊
