Uploading first images - zip only?

After initially going nowhere with my first .ftp upload, I am now attempting to upload my first five images individually on the web platform (the page you come to after completing the quiz, titled “Upload your portfolio”). Having selected 5 photos, I then press ‘upload’. But I’m then told my files are not in .zip format. Is this not the right place to upload jpegs? Or must jpegs be uploaded in .zip format?

When you’re uploading your “initial” portfolio, yes, it has to be zipped. When you’ll get permission to submit files on PhotoDune, you can upload just jpegs.

Thanks for this.
