Unable to upload Umbraco image larger than 4Mb

Question

I am using Umbraco 7.2.1 and in the Media section uploading some images. I think Umbraco has limit for image size of 4Mb. When I try to upload images of greater size, they just simply come and disappear.

Umbraco should have a message or something to notify that size limit is crossed but thats a totally different issue.

My question is how this limit can be increased?

It's not an Umbraco limit, it's ASP.NET. Look here: http://stackoverflow.com/q/288612/3668031 — Jannik Anker, Jul 10 '15 at 08:42

You have to edit your web.config, maxRequestLength and maxAllowedContentLength (the example is for 100mb uploads):

<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" enableVersionHeader="false" targetFramework="4.5" maxRequestLength="104857600" />

and also

<system.webServer>
 <security>
  <requestFiltering>
   <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="104857600" />
