The default upload_max_filesize for PHP is 2M but this can easily be increased by following these steps
Step 1 - Log into your cPanel.
Step 2 - Under the Software section, click Select PHP version.
Step 3 - Click on the Options link located at the top left.
Step 4 - Find the row for upload_max_filesize and then click on the 2M wording.
Step 5 - Choose your required upload size, for example, 16M, from the drop-down and then click Apply. If you increase the upload_max_filesize then you should also increase the post_max_size as this should be at least the same if not larger than the upload_max_filesize.
Please note that once you have selected your required upload size, it will then save the changes for you automatically.
