File size limits

Maximum file size depends on your plan:

Enterprise10 GB
The absolute upload limit is 10 GB per request. Files larger than your plan’s limit return a 400 error.
Upgrading to Plus increases your limit to 5 GB per file.

​
Unsupported files

If you upload a file with an unsupported format, the API returns a 400 error: 
{
  "error": "Unsupported file type. Only .png, .jpg, .webp, .gif, .mov, .mp4, .mkv files are supported."
}

​
Reserved marker

Files that begin with an internal encryption marker are rejected by the upload endpoint. If you encounter this error, the file may be corrupted or use a reserved byte sequence. Try re-exporting the file from its original source.
