The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity too Large WCF - wcf-binding

Question

I have a windows application to send image to server using WCF service. When I run my code and upload an image, WCF returns "The remote server returned an error: (413) Request Entity Too Large."
I have tried several ways from links but not solved.
The following is my WCF Config.

I can log in with calling userWCF. The problem is when uploading user photo to WCF services. The user photo file size is only about 500KB max.
Thanks.

The main problem is that we don’t apply the configuration on the server-side. Since the server-side uses ProtocolMapping feature to enable the service works over HTTPS protocol, we should modify and apply the configuration on the BasicHttpsBinding instead of the BasicHttpBinding.
Please refer to the below configuration(Server-side).
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="secureHttpBinding" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" messageEncoding="Text">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="2000000" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
<security mode="Transport" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
<basicHttpsBinding>
<binding name="httpsBinding" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" messageEncoding="Text">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="2000000" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
<security mode="Transport" />
</binding>
</basicHttpsBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https" bindingConfiguration="httpsBinding"/>
</protocolMapping>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
Feel free to let me know if the problem still exists.
