Hi @Anonymous , This is a bit left-field, but it will work for you. On the OnChange property of your AddMediaButton (replace with your control name and also do the same for UploadedImage1 below)

Set(vImg,JSON(UploadedImage1.Image,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData))
If( Len(vImg) > 1460000, "Image size " too big", <whatever you are doing now> )

You can also put a label on top of the image control

Text(Len(vImg)*.00000073,"[$-en-US]##.##") & " Mb"

to show the size as soon as it is uploaded.

Hello Warren,

Why 1460000?

@CMOLINAV ,

That is the approximate size of 2mb file converted to Base64 Text with JSON.

Hi, Is there a way to restrict the image format. Such as 'allow only .jpg or .jpeg' and show error when image of other formats are uploaded. Thanks in advance

Hi @michaeldanieal ,

OnAddFile of the Attachment Control

If( Last( Split( Last(Self.Attachments).Name, "." ) ).Value in [ "jpg", "jpeg" ], true, Reset(Self); Notify( "Only attach JPG or JPEG files", NotificationType.Error ) )
