I am building a site using Drupal 7, in which users can upload content and images.

When I set the "Maximum image resolution" (on the core image field settings) to be, for example - 800x600.

Is that mean that the pictures will first be resized and weight reduced, and only then will be saved on my Drupal site?

I don't want to have many pictures that weight a lot on my server. I prefer to save only the images that has been resized, in order to have more space on my server.

that setting means that you can't upload an image with max resolution of 800x600. If you upload an images with a size more than that set, it will be not imported and drupal will return an error alter.

  • That's what I thought, and that's the reason I asked the question. But, when I defined max resolution of 800x600, and max file upload of 10 MB. then I tried to upload image that weigh 6.9 MB with resolution of 3872x2592 - and it works. In addition I got the following message: "The image was resized to fit within the maximum allowed dimensions of 800x600 pixels." when I check - the size of the image in my drupal /public_html/sites/default/files is 83.86 kb.
