Audio and Video Upload Limit Guide

Audio and video files are much larger than normal documents or images. Upload limits help keep the conversion process stable and prevent very large files from failing during upload or processing.

Maximum media file size

For audio and video conversions on WordPDF, the file must be 1GB or smaller.

If your file is larger than 1GB, reduce its size before uploading by trimming unnecessary parts, lowering resolution, or compressing the media file.

A stable internet connection is important when uploading large files.

Why large files can fail

Large media files take longer to upload and process.

They can fail if the internet connection stops, the browser tab closes, or the server reaches a processing limit.

For best results, close unnecessary browser tabs and avoid uploading from unstable mobile connections.

How to prepare video files

Remove unnecessary parts from the beginning or end of the video.

Use a reasonable resolution for your goal. For example, 1080p is often enough for normal sharing.

Avoid converting damaged or incomplete media files.
