My requirement is, I am building an app where user can upload image using ckeditor but the problem is right now, I can upload any size of image.

Use fseek to know the size of the file in bytes and check the condition

Thank you. But this one is RichTextEditor field. How to read the image file alone from this field in Django?

I found this interesting article Django File Size. We can limit the size of the image using our MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE

def clean_content(self):
    content = self.cleaned_data['content']
    content_type = content.content_type.split('/')[0]
    if content_type in settings.CONTENT_TYPES:
        if content._size > settings.MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE:
            raise forms.ValidationError(_('Please keep filesize under %s. Current filesize %s') % (filesizeformat(settings.MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE), filesizeformat(content._size)))
    else:
        raise forms.ValidationError(_('File type is not supported'))
    return content

Check this if it helps. If not, I will not try to find other alternate options.

In settings file you need to add

MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE = "preferred file size"


from django.conf import settings

def check_image_field_size(self):
    content = self.cleaned_data.get('image_field')
    if content._size > settings.MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE:
        raise forms.ValidationError(_('Please keep filesize under %s. Current filesize %s') % (filesizeformat(settings.MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE), filesizeformat(content._size)))
    return content
