How big should I allow images?

On my site, it has come the time to allow user uploads (just images). There are two sizes of images that I will allow:
A profile picture (so the smaller of the two)
And a "team" profile picture (this one is the larger of the two).

My question is in general, what should the width/height maximums be set and what should be the max size (in bytes) for both of the images? I have looked around on different sites to get a feel, and there does not seem to be a consistent one size, but 3Mb pops up a lot.

3mb is a pretty large image. That is about the size you would use if you were allowing full screen shots in a bmp format (which you shouldn't allow because they are ugly and oversized usually) on like a forum. As for the size of images for profiles and such, you really should just figure what size fits into your webpage layout the best and make it that size in width/height. You shouldn't really need anything larger than like 200x200 for a profile image. And I feel that 50k is more than large enough for a jpeg image of 200x200. Do a google image search for anything to get an idea and it should show you height/width and size. You can get a pretty good idea of how large an image should be.

Each image uploaded to the album must have following characteristics. It must be no larger than 2 megabytes and are restricted to 5 megapixels or less. then you will capable enough to deal with the images accurately.

You can't upload too heavy images..if you want to upload images then it should be less then 2 MB...According to me...
