Thanks for the explanation. As your and others have suggested, I think
limiting the size of the source file seems like a reasonable idea.

This is no magic bullet, though. As with ZIP bombs, you can craft a

Another method used by many websites is to put a limit on uploaded
file size. This has the double benifit of saving on bandwidth as well.
Facebook uses 5MB if I recall correctly, and that seems to work really
well in practice, large enough to handle most camera files, but small
enough to
I spent about a decade working on libraries with paging, tiling, and
streaming processing architectures. PIL's simple storage model is
pretty much a reaction against that. It has worked reasonably well
this far :-)
However, note that for resizing and some color conversions, the draft

The file has mode=RGB size=20400x28079, so you'd need about 2291246400
bytes to load it all into memory at once, and twice that to do e.g.
color conversion (which creates a second image memory), so it's a bit
on the big side, at least for a 32-bit environment.
Note that PIL doesn't actually read t
Hi,
We've been using PIL for the last 2 years to resize our users' uploaded
images and have been extremely pleased. Thanks for all your effort.
I noticed earlier today that we were experiencing issues of servers running
out of memory. It looks like the problem might be within PIL. I've put
