Profile background limited by size

    It seems like you can't set images beyond certain size as your profile background. I assume it's to not make people download huge files if they just want to view profile page.

    Examples of walls I can't set as my profile background.

    loading
    3089 x 20488

    Is there any chance this restriction will go away at some point? Is there any way around it?

    Nope. As you said, it's to prevent huge files from downloading when viewing the profile.

    Oh but it's "file size" kind of size, not resolution. Well now I have a real reason to optimize my uploads.

    2.2 MiB is allowed

    3.9 MiB isn't allowed

    Could something like 3 MiB (3.14573 MB) be the limit? Also why not just stick to megabytes? :D

    The current limit is exactly 2.5MB, which is roughly 2.38MiB.
