Hi @dedegkaev,

Welcome to [builder.io](http://builder.io) forum.

If you try and upload a large image or video to Builder, you might get an error saying that the file is too large. In order to successfully upload the file you will need to make it smaller. Luckily, for videos you can use [Handbrake](https://handbrake.fr/) to reduce the size of your file without losing quality. For images, an excellent tool is [tinypng](https://tinypng.com/).

Let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you!
