Is there an option for this in the software? I was trying to post some pictures from my phone and the file size was too big on a couple of them. I just got a new phone so this is the first time I encountered this problem. It kept saying “max file size 3000k” or something to that nature.
@A5KOBE, not sure if this is what you mean by “resize” but you can manually make the pictures/images you upload smaller in physical size (not file size), by adjusting the “width” and “height” parameters in your preview screen, as highlighted below.
The software won’t even let me get to that point but your suggestion did inspire a quick fix. I can simply crop the photo smaller perhaps as it seems the photos are just a tiny bit too much over the max. I checked the metadata and the photo in question is just over at 3.1mb.
Yeah, you are definitely right. I am not quite sure what it is. Perhaps a setting within the phone since I uploaded a very large photo on my laptop from the same network.
robert, by chance is there a ratio aspect min requirement or another requirement for photos?
On my laptop, I successfully uploaded a photo that was 6.7mb no problem. I then tried to upload my 3.1mb photo on the same laptop and it incurred the same “max size is 3072KB” message. Maybe this is a dimension issue?
my 3.1mb photo is 4032 x 3024. (did not upload)
the 6.7mb photo is 7360 x 4912. (uploaded)
Just wondering, does anyone else who has a iPhone 6s plus have this problem with larger pictures? Not quite sure what is going on. hahaha
Not a big deal. I have a quick fix but I am persistent on getting a resolution. Just my nature I guess.
Like @robert said, Discourse will automatically try to downsize large images to fit within the limits of the “max_image_size_kb” setting. It was set to 3MB and I changed it to 10MB.
@A5KOBE can you try again and see if you still get the error?
Just wanted to add on takings pics, if you want to stay anonymous, don’t take pics with mirror backed, so you don’t inadvertently become in the pic background in all your glory…
