Understanding Frame’s 150 MB Upload Limit

In Frame, the maximum file upload size is 150 MB. This limit applies to all uploads, including videos, images, PDFs, and other media.

Why This Limitation Exists

Unlike the previous system which had no enforced upload limit, Frame has put into place some limits to control the usage of file space and ensure optimum performance for all users on the system. The 150 MB limit helps:

  • Ensure fast page loading and smoother website performance.

  • Maintain stability across all church and school sites using Frame.

  • Optimize storage resources for sustainability and scalability.

What Happens If You Exceed the Limit

If you attempt to upload a file larger than 150 MB, you’ll see an error message notifying you that the upload size exceeds the maximum allowed limit.

Best Practices for Working Within the Limit (if needed)

To help your uploads succeed:

  • Compress large files before uploading.

  • Use YouTube or Vimeo for hosting large videos and simply embed them on your page. Visit our Upload Video Guide to learn more.

  • Resize images to web-friendly dimensions before uploading.

The highest image size recommended on the Frame platform is 1920x1080 pixels.

Summary

While Frame’s upload size limit is different from the unlimited approach in the past, it’s an intentional design choice that keeps your site fast, stable, and efficient for both editors and visitors.
