Etsy file size limit for digital planners

The rule

Etsy's help page says you can upload up to five digital files to a listing, with a maximum size of 20MB for each file (Etsy Help). Etsy does not say whether "MB" means 1,000,000 or 1,048,576 bytes, so this checker uses the stricter 20,000,000 bytes. The same page says file names are limited to 70 letters, numbers, periods, underscores or hyphens, and that buyers see the name exactly as you uploaded it. Checked on 7 November 2026.

If your planner is too big

1. Compress the images. Big planners are usually big because of full-page background images. Exporting with compressed or lower-resolution images (around 150 to 200 dpi is plenty for a tablet) often brings a file far under 20 MB.
2. Split the planner. A dated planner splits cleanly by half-year or quarter. Keep links inside each part working, and tell buyers which file to open first.
3. Move bonus files to a download link. Stickers, covers and extra templates can go in a PDF with a link to a cloud folder you control.

A splitter that keeps links working across parts is planned. Until then, run each part through the link checker after you split it.

Selling on more than one platform

Etsy is the strictest of the big platforms, so a file that fits Etsy fits the others too. The other way round is not true.

Each rule was checked on the platform's own help page on 7 November 2026. Platforms change their limits; if a page says something different, that page wins.
