Use an image under 2 MB.

Error message

Use an image under 2 MB.

What it means

BRAND_ASSET_MAX_BYTES is 2 MB; createBrandAssetDraft rejects any file above this limit before decoding. The limit keeps uploads small, avoids memory pressure in createImageBitmap, and bounds storage in Den.

Solutions

1. Resize the image so it fits within the required dimensions (icon: square ≥64×64; wordmark: ≥128×32, ≤4096×4096) then re-export.
2. Export as JPEG at quality ~80 for photographic wordmarks, or use PNG compression (tinypng, squoosh) for icons.
3. Reduce color depth / remove alpha if PNG is bloated by photographic content — switch to JPEG.
4. Check file size before upload (file.size < 2 * 1024 * 1024) so the error never surfaces.

Example fix

// before
const file = exportFromFigma({ scale: 4 }); // ~6 MB PNG
// after
const file = exportFromFigma({ scale: 1, format: "png", compress: true }); // < 2 MB

const BRAND_ASSET_MAX_BYTES = 2 * 1024 * 1024;
if (file.size > BRAND_ASSET_MAX_BYTES) { alert("Please use an image under 2 MB."); return; }

try {
  const asset = await createBrandAssetDraft(file, kind);
} catch (error) {
  showToast(error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Could not use that image.");
}

When it happens

Trigger: Uploading a PNG/JPEG icon or wordmark whose file.size exceeds 2 MB — e.g. a 4K-resolution logo export, a JPEG at maximum quality, or a PNG with photographic content.

Common situations: Exporting straight from design tools at full resolution (Figma 2x/3x exports of large frames); screenshots pasted as PNG; photos used as banners without compression.
