How to restrict uploading image based on its file size and image resolution in the custom image library using the "Validation Settings" feature available OOB.

Resolution restricts with =AND([Picture Height]>50,[Picture Width]>50) but not working.

First, the file size is not a supported field in the validation settings.

Check also, THE SUPPORTED AND UNSUPPORTED COLUMNS IN SHAREPOINT CALCULATED COLUMN FORMULA AND LIST VALIDATION SETTINGS.

Note: The maximum file size you can upload to a SharePoint Online site is 15 GB per file. unfortunately, you can't modify this limit as we can do in SharePoint On-Prem because it's a shared setting for all the tenants. also, there are no OOTB settings to adjust the file size limit per document library.

Workaround

Create a remote event receiver on item Adding to check the file size before upload.


Second, The Picture Height & Width are supported in the validation settings.

BUT, you should be aware of the validation doesn't fire on item upload, it's fired on item save / check-in.

So your formula =AND([Picture Height]>50,[Picture Width]>50) should work but not as expected, where the file should be first uploaded, then the validation will be executed when you hit SAVE or CHECK-IN button as shown below:

I think this should be also helpful because you will not be able to save or check-in your files until matching the correct dimensions. in this case, you will be forced to upload a file again to match the validation settings.
