Method 1 : Add these values in .htaccess file to increase the file upload size

php_value upload_max_filesize 512M
php_value memory_limit 512M
php_value max_execution_time 300
php_value max_input_time 300

Method 2 : By Editing wp-config.php file

@ini_set( 'upload_max_size' , '512M' );
@ini_set( 'post_max_size', '13M');
@ini_set( 'memory_limit', '15M' );

You can try any of these methods to increase the file upload size

Yes, this is a limitation set on your hosting server.

You need to change upload_max_filesize but also post_max_size in php.ini

After that restart the Apache.

If you have PHP-FPM installed you will need to restart that as well.

Also if you have PHP-FPM installed make sure you are modifying the correct php.ini as there could be multiple php.ini per PHP version.
