The problem is more likely to occur in a shared web server environment where you are limited in how much memory can be allocated to PHP. In my case, my service provider claims that 20M is the maximum, although phpinfo() reports 40M. As other posts have pointed out, it is the number of pixels that determine how large the uncompressed image is. An other factor would be the color depth: 8-, 16- or 24-bit. Displaying the images natively is not a problem, since the images do not need to be uncompressed. I have seen indications that ImageMagick requires less memory than the standard GD library when creating thumbnails, but have not been able to test myself (standard ImageMagick install will not work in a shared environment).

So, if someone uploads large resolution picture do ALL wikis break? or
is it
only some of them? I am trying to regroup and find a solution/cause for error.

Thanks Itay! This worked! But same as you I'm curious about the logic behind it. As there is a
limit
of 20M for some reason. 2500 x 1600 pixels generates far less than 20MegaBytes I would say. And then it's only in case of thumbnail view...
I'm open for suggestions :)
