What is the maximum photo size?
The per-photo limit is 15 MB. That's enough even for high-resolution professional shoots.
Why is there a limit?
- Speed: Huge photos slow down your portfolio
- Storage: We keep LACOP affordable by setting sensible limits
- Mobile: Mobile visitors have limited data plans
- SEO: Google rates fast websites higher
If your photo is too big
You have several options:
Option 1: Export at smaller resolution
- Lightroom: Export → Image Sizing → Limit to 2500px long edge, JPEG quality 80
- Photoshop: File → Export → Save for Web → JPEG, quality 80, max size 2500px
- Apple Photos: File → Export → JPEG Max Quality, Size: Large
Option 2: Online compression
Use tools like TinyPNG or Squoosh — both free and reduce file size without visible quality loss.
Option 3: Shoot at smaller resolution
If you know the photos are only going online, capture them at 12-16 megapixels instead of 50MP+.
What happens after upload?
LACOP compresses your photos further automatically:
- Resize to max 2000px width
- Conversion to WebP
- Thumbnail creation (400px)
A 10 MB JPEG often ends up around 2 MB — at virtually the same quality.
"File too large" error
If you upload an oversized file, you see: "File exceeds the maximum size of 15 MB". Compress the photo and try again.
Is there a total storage limit?
On Free plans: max 30 photos. On paid plans unlimited (fair use).
