Keeping size limits in mind (Maximum dimensions; width: 125 pixels, height: 125 pixels, file size: 20.00 KiB.), maybe try copying the URL instead of uploading an image. Depending on the layout of the webpage, this could be an option.

Image size requirement is very small. What software are you using to shrink & resize the file?

It needs to be no larger than 125 * 125 pixels. The Manziel image is 837 * 502

Go into MS Paint and resize to 125 by 125

I might have messed this up (i think file size still too big), but you get the idea. Maybe resize even smaller to get the file size down if you don't have a better image editing program

Not to upload one, but if all you are doing is downloading it from a site and then uploading it, it is pretty much guaranteed to be too large in both dimensions and file size.
