A single photo taken on a modern phone is too large for file size limit.
    #28162787 - 01/29/23 12:01 PM (11 months, 23 days ago)

I have invited a lot of people to this site over the years, The number 1 complaint I get is that they cant upload a single picture.
I get hardware restraints and all that but surely the individual file size limit could be increased while keeping other limits in place.

I saw Ythan mention that he plans to offer free unlimited to everyone after the next upgrade which is super dope. However if increasing individual image size limit is possible in the meantime it would do a lot for the new user experience.

Thanks :wizard:

That's true that most images these days exceed the maximum filesize for uploads, but we don't typically reject these files - we try to automatically resize and recompress them to fit within the account's limits. I just tested using an account with the default upload quota, and I could upload a 7MB image just fine, but I will add some logging so I can see how frequently images are rejected for being too large. I think this would mainly happen with animated GIFs since it's hard to compress them much smaller. I really need to update the site so those are converted to a modern video format; it's something that's been on my to-do list for a while.

I could probably raise the maximum upload size a bit in the meantime, but I'm not sure it would help the way you think it would. Images might end up being slightly larger when you click to zoom in, but I don't believe it would make much difference in which uploads are accepted. If you have an example of an image that you'd like to upload which isn't working, could you please e-mail it to ythan@shroomery.org?
