Beyond size limits, is there a requirement for file size or format? If you try to add and it doesn't accept, it should tell you why. What does it say?

What format is the file you are trying to load? How big?

What's the file type? If it's a .bmp or such you might want to convert it to .jpg.

You should note that Avatar's are limited to 100*100 size as well a ~19.5KB in file size.

Your file is ~29.29KB big, thus it's too big to be used as an Avatar. even if it meets the 100*100 standard, if the file size is too large it will be disallowed. If it's saying the file isn't a valid image file - check the file format and ensure it's a .jpg (.jpg's compression is better than .bmp, and thus will take up less file space).

Open it in Paint, File-->Save As, then drop down menu under your file name,"Save as type:" select .jpg, and save.
