Final answer:
To upload large files to Etsy, you must ensure they're under the 20 MB limit or split them into smaller parts. Use compression software or cloud hosting solutions if necessary, and always provide clear instructions for customers on accessing and assembling the files.
Step-by-step explanation:
To upload large digital files to Etsy, you will need to ensure that the files adhere to Etsy's size limitations. Etsy currently allows digital files up to 20 MB in size.
If your files are larger than this, you'll need to compress them or split them into smaller parts. You can compress files using software like Adobe Acrobat for PDFs, or WinZip for other file types.
To split files, you can create a multi-part archive using a file compression program, or you can divide the content into multiple files and list them separately on Etsy.
When your files are ready, you can upload them directly on the listing page when you create or edit a product. Remember to provide clear instructions for your customers on how to download and assemble the files if they are in multiple parts.
Additionally, since Etsy encourages instant download for digital listings, consider hosting larger files on a cloud service and providing a downloadable PDF on Etsy that includes a link to the external file.
