how to change maximum upload size
If you are on shared hosting, it might be quickest just to contact the support group or consult the FAQ on your hosts site, and ask them to advise/assist you on their preferred method of increasing/overcoming the file upload size limitations that they currently have set in php.ini.

Then you could probably just import them into your media library using a plugin such as this one:
