Three clear steps
How it works
- 1
Find the exact maximum file size shown by the destination form and paste that wording above.
- 2
Choose the image that was rejected; Workbox compares the real file with the requirement.
- 3
Download a replacement only after its final size and any other supplied rules pass validation.
What “file size exceeds the maximum limit” means
The destination is rejecting the number of bytes in the file. A photo can look small on screen and still exceed the uploader's KB or MB limit.
The message does not reveal a universal target. Use the maximum shown by the specific form rather than guessing, because different websites enforce different limits.
From rejected to ready
Problem: the original image is over the portal's limit. Requirement: paste the exact maximum size and any format or dimension rules. Fixed: Workbox prepares the image locally and confirms the final file passes before enabling download.
What if the form does not show a limit?
Check the text beside the uploader, the error details, or the website's help page. Workbox will not invent a file-size target for you; an explicit requirement produces a safer result.
Tips for a reliable upload
- Copy the requirement exactly, including whether it says KB or MB.
- Add an accepted format such as JPG when the form specifies one.
- If a validated file is still rejected, refresh the form and check for a site or account problem.
Frequently asked questions
What maximum file size should I enter?
Enter the limit shown by the website you are using. Look beside the upload field, in the error message, or in its help documentation.
Will Workbox preserve my image quality?
It keeps the highest safe quality that meets your limit and reduces dimensions only when necessary.
Is the rejected image uploaded to Workbox?
No. The source image is processed and validated locally in your browser.
