Hi!

I am adding an image picker component to a form. I was wondering what are the detailed restrictions of the image a user can upload?

File types allowed, maximum size?

Thanks!

Glide recognizes JPGs, PNGs, GIFs and SVGs.

10mb is the limit for the pickers.

Got it! This should be added under the image picker details as well, or a link to the images guide.

Hello Jeff,

Sorry I bother you with this old topic but I was wondering wether it’s possible to fix a maximum size file or picture in the pick up file component in order to avoid the users to collaps the app speed uploading very heavy imatges or files.

Thanks and have a nice weekend!

No, I don’t believe there is a way to set a maximum size yourself.
