When I try to generate a new prototype using Figma Make based off an existing Figma design, I receive an error “"Some images in your design are too large to upload. Try using smaller or fewer images." regardless of how small or large the Figma frame I am uploading is. I even tried uploading a frame with one single button, still got this error.

Hi ​@Courtney Bugg, thanks for reaching out! 

I completely understand how frustrating this must be to continue to run into the same error despite updating your Frames, so I appreciate you taking the time to share the details with us.
 
To best advise, could you please confirm if you're looking to add the items in the frame as components to be used in the Figma Make file for a prototype, or if you want to import the entire frame to be included and used as the prototype?
 
Any additional information you can provide would be greatly appreciated, so I can continue to help troubleshoot.

Hi ​@Oliver8, thanks for your reply and including a screenshot. 

Could you provide a bit more detail on what steps you are taking where you got that error message? Understanding what you are selecting and what your goal is can help us narrow down the cause. For example, are you selecting a specific frame or prototype to paste over into Make? Is this a brand new Make file or one you’ve already been iterating on? With that context we can figure out the next steps to help you move forward with your Make file.

In which ever make file I try to past any frame it shows this error, simple frame or complicated frame I tried pasting in frame from multiple files, and inside multiple make files. Always the same.

Thanks for the additional context, ​@Oliver8

Just to clarify, so this is indeed also happening when trying to paste a frame in a brand new Make file? Are you able to share an example file with us?

If you can’t share it publicly, we can also help connect you with our technical quality team to investigate this with you further,

no .. not able to share it.. its company owned property.
But its really simple as that .. which ever frame I try and link inside make, either link or copy/past the frame itself.. it shows that error.. 🤷🏼

Thanks for chiming in here too, ​@Joshua Morris

I’ve flagged this to the Make team to investigate. We’ll provide any updates from the team as soon as we can.

I have the same error and my colleague using the same exact file and screen had no problems sending it to Figma Make

This is happening on my end as well—every file sent to Figma Make produces this error, no matter the size.

Hey All, thank you for continuing to chime in here! 

The user who our team was investigating with ended up self-resolving their issue. Again, as I mention above, as a first troubleshooting step, can you please let us know what types of frames are you trying to upload?
Please confirm if you're looking to add the items in the frame as components to be used in the Figma Make file for a prototype, or if you want to import the entire frame to be included and used as the prototype. 

With a few more details, we can help get you connected with support directly, depending on your specific use case. The context of the type of frame you’re trying to import and how you intend to use it once it’s been imported can help the team better understand how to best troubleshoot.
