Where 50 MB matters

A 52,428,800-byte file: exactly the size at which Git hosting on GitHub starts warning about large files, and about the limit for a zipped AWS Lambda package uploaded directly.

Testing notes for JPG

Photos from phones carry EXIF data including location; the samples here contain none.
A small file can decode to a huge bitmap. Validate pixel dimensions as well as bytes, or a 5 MB upload can demand hundreds of megabytes of memory.
