Error when uploading images

  • I am getting the following error when i try to upload an image of any size into the media library – “The server cannot process the image. This can happen if the server is busy or does not have enough resources to complete the task. Uploading a smaller image may help. Suggested maximum size is 2560 pixels”
    I am hosted on namecheap and i have only used 8%of the total storage available.
    I updated the plugins and theme in use but this did not solve the issue.

    I am not sure how to proceed.

  • try deactivate all image related plugins

    Can you update the PHP Memory Limit? may be it solves the problem.

    I was just having this problem today. Besides the suggestions so far, you might want to upload a smaller image. You can reduce the dimensions of the figure, but if you are uploading a png file (for example), try converting it to jpg format first. That is a lossy compressed format that will give a smaller file. Probably no noticeable difference from png for the “average” person.

    Thanks all.
    I only had one image plugin “Free assets”. I deactivated that but it made no difference.

    The lcomment of trying to use jpg file extension and reducing the dimensions wasnt applicable as i was already using jps.
    I also tried various sizes from this site – https://sample-videos.com/download-sample-jpg-image.php but any size pic was giving the same error.

    Next i tried to increase the php limit. I think it was set at 128mb. I used code snipped plugin and added the following line “define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );” to increase the php. This seems to have fixed the issue for now.
