## Description

Many users do not compress or resize their images before uploading them into a post,
and oftentimes WordPress’s maximum upload limit of 2MB-10MB is still too large to
prevent the insertion of photos that can signficantly slow down a website.

WP Image Size Limit allows an administrator to set a custom file size limit that
is specific to image files and smaller than WordPress’s general file size limit.

This is especially useful when you need to put tighter restriction on image uploads
but want to preserve the ability to upload larger files of other formats (audio,
video, etc.).

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * The limit can be set in the Media panel under Settings.
 * [[
 * The media uploader will display both limits.

Just what I needed to tamp down those designers who think it’s okay to use 20MB 
images!

Have an ecommerce website where client was uploading 100MB+ photos. This did the
trick!
