HTTP 413·Uploading a file

What it means

What happened

filebin.ca could not accept the upload because the request was larger than this service allows.

Why

Why it might have happened

  • The selected file may be over the anonymous 10 MB upload limit.
  • A browser, proxy, or API client may have added enough extra data to push the request over the limit.
  • Signed-in and API-key uploads can have higher limits, but still cannot exceed the active account tier.
Next steps

What you can try

  1. Choose a smaller file or compress it before uploading.
  2. Sign in if you need the higher account upload tier.
  3. If you are using the API, send one file per request and keep it below the limit shown in the docs.
