🎬 Why the Reels Upload Limit Cannot Increase
📌 What this article covers
This article explains why a Reel video cannot be published from Search Atlas. Social Hub does not support video uploads,
including Reels, so the file size cannot be raised for a single account. Post the Reel directly in Meta Business Suite
or the Instagram or Facebook app instead.
⚙️ Why the limit cannot be increased
The 5 MB upload limit applies to files in the Search Atlas Social Hub media uploader and cannot be raised for one
account, customer, or project. It does not control Reels. Video files, including Facebook and Instagram Reels, are not
supported, so compressing a Reel under 5 MB will not let it upload.
🛠️ Workarounds that resolve the issue
You have two practical options. Use either one, or both, depending on how you prefer to publish.
Compressing the Reel under 5 MB will not let you publish it from Search Atlas, because video uploads are not supported.
- Use a compression tool such as HandBrake, Clideo, FreeConvert, or CapCut.
- Exporting or converting the Reel to a file under 5 MB will not make it acceptable. Search Atlas only accepts images
(JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, or HEIC).
- Do not upload the Reel through the Search Atlas media uploader. Video files are turned away with the message that
video is not supported yet.
Publish the original video outside Search Atlas
- Upload the Reel directly through Meta Business Suite.
- Or upload it through the native Instagram or Facebook app.
- This path is not limited by the Search Atlas media uploader cap.
💡 What to expect
Compressing a Reel under 5 MB does not let you publish it inside Search Atlas. Post it through Meta Business Suite or
the native Instagram or Facebook app to use the original file. There is no Reels upload limit in Search Atlas to
raise."}
