If you’re using Laravel, don’t forget to check `php.ini` AND the `.htaccess` file. Both can trigger http 413.
For nginx, sometimes the error log gives clues. Run `tail -f /var/log/nginx/error.log` while testing.
Also, Cloudinary or Filestack are solid for offloading big uploads.

Hey OP, just wanted to add—if you’re on shared hosting, they might enforce hard limits. No way around it except upgrading or using external storage.
For nginx, triple-check the config location. It needs to be in the `server` block, not `http`.
And yeah, client-side validation is a must. Nobody likes cryptic http 413 errors.
