I tried to upload PNG image with size about 1.3 MiB, but image uploader says that an image size is more than 2 MiB:

enter image description here

Your image is too large to upload (over 2 MiB).

Possible explanation for this is that the image is auto-converted by imgur to JPG format. I found an unanswered question with related information: What are the factors that cause SE's Imgur instance to reduce the resolution of uploaded images?

From the user point of view it's very unclear why does uploader complain about the size of implicitly converted image rather than providing by the user.

If it's not possible to upload image "as is" in PNG format, can we just clarify the error message?

  • A few months late, but if you still have this image can you try this again? We've introduced a new image service to replace Imgur. Please and Thanks!

  • @TroyGould same problem. I can share the source image with you if you provide me a way where to upload it.

  • Are you able to share a url to the image?

  • @TroyGould sure, but I don't know where to upload it.

  • @TroyGould interesting moment, that iPad says that size on device is 1.3Mb, but when I try to export it, the size is increased to 3Mb. Weird.
