Title: WP Upload Size Author: Husain Ahmed Published: May 12, 2018 Last modified: August 12, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-upload-size/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=1873103) ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-upload-size/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=3128123) # WP Upload Size By [Husain Ahmed](https://profiles.wordpress.org/husainahmedqureshi/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-upload-size.2.1.0.zip) * [Details](https://brx.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-upload-size/#description) * [Reviews](https://brx.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-upload-size/#reviews) * [Installation](https://brx.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-upload-size/#installation) * [Development](https://brx.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-upload-size/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-upload-size/) ## Description WordPress and PHP both control how large a file you can upload. **WP Upload Size** lets you set a higher WordPress media upload limit in a few clicks—using MB or GB instead of raw bytes. #### Features * Set upload limit in **KB, MB, or GB** (no byte math required) * **Quick presets**: 32 MB, 64 MB, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB * One-click **Match PHP max** * Dashboard showing `upload_max_filesize`, `post_max_size`, `memory_limit`, and the **effective** WordPress limit * Clear warning when your desired limit is higher than PHP allows * Never promises more than PHP can accept in the Media Library * Settings link on the Plugins screen * Translation-ready (text domain: `wp-upload-size`) #### Important This plugin adjusts the WordPress upload size filter. It **cannot** raise PHP limits by itself. If uploads still fail, ask your host to increase `upload_max_filesize` and `post_max_size` in `php.ini` (or use `.user.ini` / hosting panel settings). #### Where to find settings Go to **Tools WP Upload Size** after activating the plugin. ## Screenshots [⌊Settings page under Tools → WP Upload Size with current PHP and WordPress limits.⌉⌊ Settings page under Tools → WP Upload Size with current PHP and WordPress limits .⌉[ Settings page under Tools WP Upload Size with current PHP and WordPress limits.

Go to **Plugins Add New**. 2. Search for **WP Upload Size**. 3. Click **Install Now**, then **Activate**. 4. Open **Tools WP Upload Size**. 5. Enter a size (for example `64`) and choose **MB**, or use a quick preset. 6. Click **Save upload limit**. #### Manual installation 1. Upload the `wp-upload-size` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen. 3. Open **Tools WP Upload Size** and set your desired limit. ## FAQ ### Why does my upload still fail after increasing the limit? Your server PHP limits are lower than the file size. Check the **Current limits** panel on the settings page. Raise `upload_max_filesize` and `post_max_size` with your host, then try again. ### Do I still enter the size in bytes? No. Starting in 2.1.0 you can enter values in KB, MB, or GB. Existing byte-based settings are kept and shown in a readable unit. ### Does this affect other files on my site? No. It only changes the WordPress media upload size limit. ### Will this work on multisite? The plugin works on single sites and network-capable installs. On multisite, network upload caps set by the network admin may still apply. ### Can this plugin increase PHP memory or upload limits in php.ini? No. Only your hosting environment can change PHP ini values. This plugin makes the WordPress side easy and shows what PHP currently allows. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e23349aa5d84e8c3108e95cc8a4f554e5b00e4042eef4d70a64c2f4c8a63f8ca? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[My precious!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/my-precious-2/)󠁿 [Salasar Cyber Solutions](https://profiles.wordpress.org/salasarwebteam/) June 22, 2022 As a Increase upload limit size, Can it be better?
