 Hi @jonfr2100!

 There are indeed ways to modify or remove this threshold.

 **Option 1**
 - There are [https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/disable+image+threshold/
 a number of plugins] available that will remove the threshold.

 **Option 2**
 1. Save the following to`wp-
 content/plugins/remove_image_threshold/remove_image_threshold.php` (note
 the comments - use either the line or the block, not both).
 {{{#!php
 <?php

 /**
  * Plugin Name: Change image threshold
  */

 // Add this line to remove the threshold altogether.
 add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', '__return_false', 999 );

 // OR Add this block to change the threshold to 4000.
 add_filter(
         'big_image_size_threshold',
         function( $threshold ) {
                 return 4000;
         },
         999
 );

 }}}
 2. Navigate to `Plugins > Installed Plugins` and activate "Remove image
 threshold".

 **Option 3**
 - Add the following to your theme's functions.php file:

 {{{#!php
 add_filter( 'big_image_size_threshold', '__return_false', 999 );
 }}}

 Once you have done one of the three options above, you can upload larger
 images to your website (assuming they are within the file size limit) and
 selecting "Full Size" in the editor will load the original file.

 **Note:**
 - The image may not ''display'' at the full size if the website's styling
 limits this.
 - However, it ''will'' load the original file. You can verify this by
 right-clicking and selecting "Open image in new tab", or by linking the
 image to "Media File".

 I'll close this ticket as the requested enhancement is indeed already
 available.
