info PRODUCT_VIDEO_EXCEEDS_5_MB_SIZ

Product video exceeds 5 MB size limit

What this means

Each Shop listing supports at most one product video, and it must be 5 MB or smaller. Larger files fail the upload check.

Why this happens

TikTok Shop / TikTok Catalog Manager requires product images that are publicly reachable, sized within the platform's bounds, in supported formats (JPEG/PNG typically), and free of overlays, watermarks, retailer logos, or text callouts. This issue trips when one of those constraints is broken.

How to fix it

  1. Open the image URL in a private/incognito browser — confirm it loads without authentication or bot challenges.
  2. Check minimum dimensions (most channels: 500x500 or 800x800), file size limits, and supported formats. Re-export as JPEG quality 85–95 if compressed below threshold.
  3. Strip promotional overlays, watermarks, store logos, and call-out badges — the main image must show only the product.
  4. Re-host on a stable CDN if your origin host is rate-limiting or blocking the platform's crawler.
  5. Re-submit the feed; image changes typically propagate within 4–24 hours.
