Upload Errors and File Size Limits for E-learning Courses
An upload error is frustrating when the message is vague. Course platforms serve the same images to many students, often on slow connections, so lean files improve the learning experience.
Recommended settings for e-learning courses
| Setting | Starting point |
|---|---|
| Format | JPEG (WebP where accepted) |
| Width | about 1600 px on the long edge |
| Quality | 78 |
| File size | 200 KB or less |
These are practical defaults. If the platform or form you are using publishes its own limits, follow those instead.
Upload Errors and File Size Limits
Most errors come from three causes: the file is too big, the dimensions are outside the allowed range, or the format is not accepted.
For e-learning courses, convert to JPEG, resize to about 1600 pixels and compress below 200 KB. If the form lists its own limits, use those numbers instead.
