What's the maximum image size one can upload? 2 or 4 MB?

The information seems inconsistent:

4 MB:

2 MB:

(also Mb is confused with MB, and mb is even more wrong)

  • I still haven't tricked it into a 4MB one.

This has been fixed and will be deployed as of build 3531 (on MSE/MSO) and 2687 (on other sites). Thanks to pacoverflow for doing the testing to determine the real limit!

(It's been changed to say 2MB everywhere, and not 2Mb or 2mb.)

    However, ‘2MB’ is wrong; it shall read ‘2 MB’.

  • @Loong The "2 MB" fix will be deployed as of build 3532 on MSE/MSO (and still 2687 on other sites).

It appears that the maximum image size is 2 MB. I tried to upload this image that is 2,303,164 bytes, and I got the following error:

A different image that is 1,883,430 bytes was successfully uploaded.

  • That image you successfully uploaded is the sort where it does seem feasible to process the reflection in the eye to see the photographer.
