The rule
Payhip's guide to adding a digital product says you can upload multiple files, and each file can be up to 5 GB; a file over that can be split into smaller files on the same product (Payhip Help: adding a digital product).
Payhip's upload troubleshooting article words it slightly differently, as a maximum of 5 GB per digital product. It also says file names with quotation marks, symbols or unusual punctuation can cause upload problems, and suggests using only letters, numbers, hyphens or underscores (Payhip Help: cannot upload a file). The checker notes both: it flags a file over 5 GB, and notes when a product's files add up to more than 5 GB or a name has unusual characters.
What it means for a planner or ebook
PDFs are nowhere near 5 GB, so on Payhip the size is rarely the issue. The naming tip is the one to follow: name the file the way buyers should see it, with plain letters, numbers and hyphens.
If you also sell on Etsy, the same file has to be under 20 MB per file there. Switch the checker to Etsy to see.

Before you upload: test the links
The free link checker tests every link in a PDF on your device. For ebooks and workbooks without links, the table of contents tool turns the contents page into links and adds bookmarks.
