Claude Code Turn off image resizing?

Maybe I am dumb, but I cannot find a way to forbid claude code from resizing the images I upload, it makes them tiny and then starts whining it cannot read anything as the image is too small. Like wtf?

there's no toggle, it's not you. anything past roughly 1500px on the long edge gets downscaled before upload, that's the vision api limit and cc just does it silently.

so crop instead of shrinking. cut the region you actually care about at native res and attach that. for a full screenshot slice it into 2-3 tiles and send them together, tiles stay readable where the resized whole page turns to mush.

Thanks for the info on max size.. I eas never uploading a full size screenshots, just parts of the screen, and they are bigger than 1500px. I dunno, will upload that part of the screen in two images then...
