Max Upload File Size in Nginx

The default max upload file size in Nginx

The default maximum body size of a client request, or maximum file size, that Nginx allows you to have, is 1M. So when you try to upload something larger than 1M, you get the following error: 413: Request Entity Too Large.

When over the max upload file size

When uploading a file over max size, Nginx returns

  • status code: 413 Request Entity Too Large

  • Content-Type: text/html

  • response body:
