Image Too Large for CMS Upload

CMS uploads often fail when an image is much larger than the page actually needs. Reducing the file size and dimensions usually solves the problem quickly.

Quick answer

To fix an image that is too large for a CMS upload, open the Compress Image tool, upload the file, create a smaller version, and retry the upload. If it still fails, resize the image to dimensions closer to the actual site layout. The work runs locally in your browser, and Confiles does not upload or store your file.

FAQ
