Answer

If you experience issues uploading your DNA file, try these troubleshooting steps:

Common Solutions:
  1. Check File Format:
    • Ensure it's a valid RAW DNA file (TXT or ZIP)
    • Verify it's downloaded directly from your testing company
    • Make sure the file hasn't been edited or modified
  2. Check File Size:
    • Typical range: 5MB - 50MB
    • Very large files might time out
    • For files over 100MB, use appropriate conversion service
  3. Browser Issues:
    • Try a different web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Edge)
    • Clear browser cache and cookies
    • Disable browser extensions temporarily
    • Ensure JavaScript is enabled
  4. Connection Problems:
    • Check your internet connection stability
    • Try uploading during off-peak hours
    • Avoid uploading on slow/unstable connections
  5. File Corruption:
    • Re-download the file from your testing company
    • Verify the file opens correctly in a text editor
    • Check if the ZIP file extracts properly
