Max file size

DavisRichard

I'm trying to upload a family history, PDF. It's about 80 pages, with photos (BW), and is only 35meg. I got a FILE TOO LARGE message.

I reduced the file to 16meg and got the same error.

What is the upper limit on file size?

Posting that number on the Memories page would save us all a lot of wasted time trying to find the proper file size. Thanks.

Hello Richard

Usually Family History Files are GEDCom files 

You do not mention what website you are trying to upload to??? You mentioned Memories so I'm assuming FamilySearch.

How do I upload memories to FamilySearch?

You can upload photos or documents to FamilySearch Memories, either as a single item or as a group of multiple items. You can import photos from your computer or camera, and even from your accounts on Instagram, Facebook, and Google Photos.

The formats and the file size limits are below:

For documents, .pdf file formats up to 15MB.

Other document formats such as .doc and .docx files will need to be converted to .pdf before they can be uploaded.

For Photos, .jpg, .png, .tif, and .bmp file formats up to 15MB.

Note: Please be aware that .pdf is the only supported file type that can include multiple pages.

15 MB is the upper limit.
