By default, the max size of the file is about 4MB (4096 KB), so you need to change the default value size by custom size. You need to change the value of httpRuntime maxRequestLength in your web.config file. following code for setting 2GB.

<system.web>
  <httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097152" />
</system.web>
