Q&A Allow including larger images

Many images and screenshots captured today, are larger than 2 MB, the max allowed size on Codidact. This means users will regularly run into a barrier when attempting to upload images to their post...

The implementation detail is irrelevant, and a background detail for the developers. Besides, the suggested solution isn't so good after all, and it detracts from the real issue
  • Support larger file sizes by compressing them before transfer to the server
  • Allow attaching larger images
  • Many images and screenshots captured today, are larger than 2 MB, the max allowed size on Codidact. This means users will regularly run into a barrier when attempting to upload images to their posts (or profile). Just now, I wanted to create a new post, which would benefit from some screenshots, however, that process was more complicated than it should have to be, because I was denied uploading the screenshots, as they were too large. I can still upload them, but I'll have to go compress them first. This can be automated. Codidact should accept larger image file sizes client-side (10 MB?), compress them, and then upload them to the server.

Reduntant information for the post. Better suited for a comment.

Excuse me for linking to the "wrong" Q/A site; we need more questions here. :P
