iPhone photos won't upload to Nations Photo Lab?
If your iPhone photos look fine on your phone but they aren't uploading to Nations Photo Lab, the issue is usually the file format. iPhones save photos as HEIC by default; converting them to JPG takes 30 seconds and works on every photo service.

Convert iPhone photos →What's happening with Nations Photo Lab
Apple changed iPhone's default photo format to HEIC in 2017. HEIC files take up less space on your phone. JPG remains the safest common format when an upload stalls or a particular editor does not accept the original HEIC file.
Nations Photo Lab's accepted upload formats are JPG and PNG. They've published a guide for iPhone users on switching the camera setting so new photos save as JPG instead of HEIC. For HEIC photos already on your phone, converting them to JPG via a tool is faster than reshooting.
