my only beef with ipfs.pics is that it's limited to 2 MB per picture. (even if you don't use the web interface and add your pictures in your own local IPFS instance)

Good to know. Yes, 2 MB is not nearly enough, in some cases. I am not familiar with all of the technical aspects of IPFS yet. I wonder if this is a limitation that ipfs.pics applied. If so, sounds like it opens up some interesting opportunities to create one that allows larger file handling.
yes, it's only about ipfs.pics website, not ipfs itself.
but also gateway.ipfs.io might have problems handling larger files. i experienced timeouts.
Sounds like an area that may need some attention. ;)
it's just a cost factor i guess. mid-term we should use ipfs directly through a browser extension anyway, rather than using web gateways, but oh well, pesky Metcalfe.
