Clarification on image file size limits

Continuing the discussion from Twitter New Photo-Tagging Feature:

Image size limit is now 5MB? Can I upload 4 images of 5MB each at the same time? When I read API documentation, I’m confused by this line
"In addition, there is a separate product entity specific filesize limit which is applied when calling the Tweet creation (or similar) endpoints with media_id"
What is Tweet creation endpoint with media_id? Thanks!

I just uploaded a 10MB image in the tweet and it’s get posted. What’s the real limit for the image size?

The maximum image size should be 5Mb, with up to 4 images attached to a Tweet. What kind of media were you uploading? Was the image attached to a Tweet successfully?

Different size limits apply to GIFs and videos.

I directly uploaded a 10MB jpg photo in my twitter page. It’s posted successfully. I did not use API. Also I notice png seems to be treated differently from jpg.

The API limit is documented (I believe correctly) at 5Mb as the limit for image upload.
