Answer 1

php artisan serve uses the php.ini from php/cli (usually in /etc/php[version]/cli)

Update this file accordingly:

post_max_size = 1024m
upload_max_filesize = 1024m

Answer 2

If you are using Apache server just try to some changes in php.ini like this

post_max_size = 1024m upload_max_filesize = 1024m

Answer 3

post_max_size represents the size that comes in the post body meaning the size is the aggregation of all fields' size containing in the request body. So post_max_size must be greater than upload_max_filesize (the addition of all uploads' size) + data containing in other fields in the request body.

post_max_size doc says:

Sets max size of post data allowed. This setting also affects file upload. To upload large files, this value must be larger than upload_max_filesize. Generally speaking, memory_limit should be larger than post_max_size.

See in details here. Refer to Payload Too Large also.
