So Xenforo has the wonderful function that it automatically calculates images smaller, down to the previously entered settings for image size in attachements.
There I have the following setting :
Maximum file size for attachments: 500kb
Maximum image size: 1200px wide 900px high
But now I just do not understand, why xenforo calculates some images without any problems, but for others the upload is refused because "file too big"
Just happened to me again ...
Then I did some tests with a few relatively large images (all jpg).
Image 1: Size 8,24 MB, 300dpi, 4592 x 2737 px ... uploaded
Image 2: Size 6,53 MB, 300 dpi, 5616 x 3744 px .... rejected because too big
Image 3: Size 6,35 MB, 300dpi, 5131 x 3402 px ... uploaded
Image 4: Size 14.5 MB, 300dpi, 6783 x 4912 px .... rejected because too big
Image 5: Size 9,17 MB, 300 dpi, 5104 x 3744 px ... uploaded
Image 6: Size 15.2 MB, 300dpi, 5184 x 3456 px ... uploaded
Image 7: Size 15.3 MB, 300dpi, 7006 x 4676 px .... rejected because too big
So ... I would say it is not the MB.
Must be the pixel size ...
Does anyone here knows the maximum dimensions which xenforo can handle?
I would like to be able to give a correct answer to our users when they ask why their image file is sometimes too big and sometimes not
