what about resizing the images by the app to the size you need?
the image extension and its Resize and/or Scale method could help you doing this

… limit the size of images that users can upload?

What about checking before uploading whether a certain file size is exceeded:

[juansinclair]

Thanks. I´ll try this too.

[juansinclair]

I don’t know why all the images I try always return -1 (wrong, by the way)

[juansinclair]

You must use the relative path for this:

I already mentioned this issue several times (sometimes the absolute path and sometimes the relative path is used), e.g.:

How to ZIP files?

Yes, but please change these inconsistencies (absolute / relative paths): [grafik] See e.g. also here: https://community.kodular.io/t/file-path-for-unzip-file-component/37575/6?u=bodymindpower

I can't delete a file in Downloads

You have to use the relative path here: [grafik] Sometimes the full path and sometimes the relative is used with the File component, see here: https://community.kodular.io/t/file-path-for-unzip-file-component/37575/6?u=jaan4

@juansinclair can you tell me how to make limit image size in image picker?

I have tried with file size component like @bodymindpower block above this post, but always failed

[The_K_Studio (Karan M.)]

Use file size block from FileTools Extension.

Here size, 5,00,000 means 500kb

file size component like @bodymindpower block above this post, but always failed

What failed?
As I’ve mentioned often enough, the File component needs the relative path:

Sorry for the delay to answer.

I did not access the community for a while, and only now did I see the question.

I really hope you have solved the problem, but come on …
