image is too large

[EarlMax]

Hi there

I get this message when uploading images:

1 error

1. image is too large (308.635KB). Maximum allowed: 300KB


where can I change the settings for this?

Thanks

I think it's a server setting that you can change with a php.ini file. For example, the following should allow file sizes up to 2MB:

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 2M

so what and where is this php file?
and what code needs to go in it?

Thanks

The file php.ini doesn't come with PrestaShop. Some hosts include it in the default files on your server. Other hosts don't include the file at all, so you will have to create it yourself.

This problem happens when you try to add Category image.

Go to admin folder/tabs/AdminCategories.php, line 19: protected $maxImageSize = 300000;
Just append one '0' you will increase maximum category image filesize to 3MB.

@EarlMax

if you mean when customers upload images for customized products on the FO than go to BO => Preferences => Products => on the bottom of the list there is a setting with the upload image size.

In Prestashop 1.7 there are additional limits in PS back-office:
Advanced Parameters -> Administration -> Upload Quota
