 * Hello,
    in my wordpress backend ive set the max image size for large images to
   1024×1024 but in the content there are still bigger images and they arent resize.
   So how can I limit the image size and only allow images bellow 1024×1024. I dont
   want to resize them only with css because I want to limit size of the resource
   that are downloaded.

 * Media that has already been uploaded will not resize automatically. You would
   have to edit the image in your content and reselect the “Large” size for it to
   reflect your new dimensions. I believe there are plugins that could automate 
   this for you, I’d recommend having a look around the plugin repository if there
   are too many to do manually.
