Question
Do you have the max file size to send via MMS?
Applies To
- MMS via our Messages API for US & Canada Short Codes,10 DLC, Toll-Free Numbers
Answer
The maximum file size recommended is 600KB.
For optimum delivery and to avoid compression of media 200KB is recommended.
Higher file sizes up to 1MB may be supported for Short Codes only, although this can result in delivery and file quality compromises. Contact your account manager to discuss further.
Note: although MMS can be successfully delivered to the carrier, it can be rejected by the device. Ensure that the device is up to date and that there aren't any apps or settings that prevent larger media files from being received.
