Handling Large Files
Tips for reliably uploading and processing files up to the 20 MB limit.
Connection Timeouts
Uploading a 20 MB file on a slow connection can take time. Ensure your HTTP client is configured with a sufficient timeout (e.g., 60 seconds) for the POST /tasks request.
Streaming Uploads
When building backend applications (e.g., in Node.js), avoid loading the entire file into memory before uploading. Instead, stream the file directly from disk or from your cloud storage to the Flimpa API.
Need larger limits?
The default maximum file size is 20 MB. If your enterprise use case requires processing larger files, please contact our sales team to discuss custom limits.
