Photo from the device can't be converted to binary (PowerApps and SharePoint)

Hi, I have the following issue.

Originally I had a photo functionality built like: User takes a photo in PowerApps ---> Camera1.Photo Image is saved in the gallery ---> After click 'Accept' Gallery Images go to Microsoft Flow and they are being converted from Url to Binary in Flow and then sent to Sharepoint.

It worked fine, but I would like to upload photos from the device as well (by Add Picture functionality built into PowerApps). Everything seems to be alright, but all the process stocks on the error below.

Long story short: Why my Photos made in PowerApps can be converted and sent to SharePoint, and photos uploaded to PowerApps from the device can't?

Thank you,

Hi, Here is my file, Uploaded from my computer and stored safely in the gallery:

Then it moves exactly the same way as the images made through PowerApps, but only images made through PowerApps make the Flow successful. Images from the computer are causing the error in conversion.

please @pal95 try adding a compose value after you power apps and inside the output from power apps. Copy that output and paste it here, so see what is happening

Run the flow, paste the output from power apps action and then copy the result of compose and paste it here.

See you have a convert error so shure your content is bad

Don't mind the second branch, it's something I am working on now.

It's just converting Uri to Binary. I suspect that photos made by the user are in Uri and photos from the computer are in some other format. I just need a solution for files from the computer, how to change their format?

@pal95 to help you I need to see this format too. I can't replicate your scenario then the only way to see what kind of format image type you have is looking into your power apps output json. And for that just don't convert anything in compose just add the output from your power apps action and let me know, by pasting here that output.
