Has the upload file size limit changed? I am having trouble uploading JPG files for new pics from my cell phone. What is the file size limit?

I am using a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Android. The file size of the two pics I tried to upload is 2,957 KB and 3,606 KB.Are you using an iPhone perchance? It isn't uncommon to see JPEG images in excess of 4MB if you're not using an app.
That's awfully, awfully large.I am using a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Android. The file size of the two pics I tried to upload is 2,957 KB and 3,606 KB.
OK, that fixed it. Thanks Scott.Sorry I was away from the computer most of the day and will be away most of the day tomorrow as well too..
However I just made some changes to the system, for some reason things were defaulted for 2M when it should have been higher. I have raised it now.
Sorry for the trouble!
Nevertheless, you should scale the pictures down to something considerably smaller in pixels. 800x600 might be a bit small but I suggest something less than 1600x900 pixels. The phone apps can help with this (as well as avoiding firing pictures around via e-mail).OK, that fixed it. Thanks Scott.
How do I scale down to 1600x900?

Where's the "kill the cat" button?Now I can upload my cat pictures!
Don't recall that button but will look again.Where's the "kill the cat" button?
It appears that you've already been there in post #7.How do I scale down to 1600x900? See post #7.
OK, thanks. The file upload works for me now since Scott set the limit up.It appears that you've already been there in post #7.
Since the resolutions are still "too large", I would recommend something like Photo & Picture Resizer or whatever you might use on your computer for viewing pictures.
I use Irfanview on a Windows computer to scale pictures. It has many options and works quickly and easily.
Don't reduce the size of the pictures you take. This will impact ALL of your photos, not just the few that you may upload here on occasion. Keep everything "full" size and reduce the specific ones you intend to upload on a case-by-case basis.What other settings can I change in my smartphone camera?
I did'nt reduce the photo size. I only have three sizes to choose and none of them worked. Scott increased the site upload file limit and now I am not having any issues.Don't reduce the size of the pictures you take.

Understand, thanks.I meant in the grand scheme of things. If he kept a restriction in place or this impacted you at other sites, my point is, don't reduce the resolution of ALL of your photos to compensate.
