To increase the maximum upload size in cPanel, you’ll need to adjust some settings related to PHP and the web server configuration. Here are the general steps:

1. Login to cPanel: Access your cPanel account with your credentials.

2. Locate “PHP Version Manager” or “Select PHP Version”: The exact location of this option may vary depending on your cPanel theme or version. Look for something like “PHP Version Manager” or “Select PHP Version” and click on it.

3. Select the desired PHP version: From the PHP Version Manager or Select PHP Version screen, choose the PHP version your website is using. If you’re unsure, you can typically check your website’s PHP version from the cPanel dashboard or your hosting provider.

4. Click “Options” or “Switch To PHP Options”: Look for an “Options” button or a similar option. This will allow you to configure the PHP settings.

5. Adjust “upload_max_filesize” and “post_max_size”: Find the settings for “upload_max_filesize” and “post_max_size.” These values determine the maximum file size that can be uploaded. Increase the values to your desired limit.

   For example, to allow uploads of files up to 32MB, you can set both “upload_max_filesize” and “post_max_size” to “32M.”

6. Save the changes: After making the adjustments, save your changes. The method for saving changes may vary depending on your cPanel version, but it’s typically a “Save” or “Apply” button.

7. Test the new upload limit: To ensure your changes have taken effect, try uploading a file that is larger than the previous limit. If it uploads successfully, your new maximum upload size is in effect.

Keep in mind that some hosting providers may impose a maximum limit on PHP settings to ensure server stability and resource allocation. If you encounter issues or are unable to increase the upload size beyond a certain limit, you may need to contact your hosting provider for assistance or consider upgrading your hosting plan.

Additionally, it’s essential to be cautious when allowing larger file uploads, as this can impact server resources and load times. Ensure your server has sufficient resources to handle larger uploads without performance issues.
