How to Fix ERR_FILE_SIZE_EXCEEDED

Topic: TikTok Network Error Issues | Status: Updated

What is this error?

The "ERR_FILE_SIZE_EXCEEDED" error in TikTok occurs when the uploaded video or photo exceeds the maximum file size limit set by the platform. This can prevent users from successfully uploading their content, leading to frustration and delays in sharing videos.

How to Fix It

  1. Check File Size: Locate the video or photo you are trying to upload and check its file size. Ensure it is below TikTok's maximum limit, which typically is 287.6 MB for videos.
  2. Compress Your File: If your file exceeds the size limit, use a video or image compression tool or software, which can reduce the file size without significantly compromising quality.
  3. Trim or Edit Your Video: For videos, consider trimming your content or editing out unnecessary sections. Shortening your video can help reduce its file size effectively.
  4. Change File Format: Some file formats are larger than others. If feasible, convert your video to a more efficient format, such as MP4, to help reduce the size.
  5. Check Upload Settings: Ensure that you're not trying to upload multiple files at once or using features that may increase file size. Stick to one video or photo to simplify the process.
  6. Restart the App: Close the TikTok app and reopen it to refresh the system. Then, try uploading your content again.
  7. Update TikTok: Make sure your TikTok app is updated to the latest version. An outdated app may sometimes cause unexpected errors, including file size issues.
