openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug/Enhancement] Image size limits too restrictive for modern phone cameras (5MB / 1200px / 6MB) [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Update the hardcoded image size constants in the OpenClaw distribution to accommodate larger images from modern phone cameras.

Guidance

• Review the proposed solution to raise the defaults in source or expose them in openclaw.json for more flexible configuration.
• Consider the trade-offs between increasing the DEFAULT_IMAGE_MAX_BYTES and DEFAULT_IMAGE_MAX_DIMENSION_PX values, as well as the MAX_IMAGE_BYTES limit.
• Test the updated configuration with sample images from iPhone 14/15 and PDF page screenshots to ensure they are no longer rejected or aggressively downsized.
• Evaluate the idempotent sed script used as a current workaround and assess its suitability as a temporary solution until a more permanent fix is implemented.

Example

{
  "messages": {
    "image": {
      "maxBytes": 15728640,
      "maxDimensionPx": 1568
    }
  }
}

This example shows how to expose the image size constants in openclaw.json for more flexible configuration.

Notes

The current workaround using a sed script may not be sustainable in the long term, and updating the defaults in source or exposing them in openclaw.json may be a more robust solution.

Recommendation

Apply the proposed solution to update the hardcoded image size constants, either by raising the defaults in source or exposing them in openclaw.json, to accommodate larger images from modern phone cameras. This will provide a more flexible and sustainable solution than the current workaround.
