What it means

What happened

The image is bigger than the per-file upload limit for your current access level.

Why

Why it might have happened

  • Anonymous uploads have a smaller per-image limit.
  • Signed-in and API uploads also have a per-file cap.
  • High-resolution screenshots, camera originals, or animated images can exceed the limit quickly.
Next steps

What you can try

  1. Resize or compress the image and try again.
  2. Sign in if you were uploading anonymously and need the signed-in limit.
  3. Split large animated or multi-frame images into smaller files.
