1. Overview

Having trouble with file uploads? This guide addresses common issues that may occur when uploading files to MindMap AI.

2. Common File Upload Issues

You may encounter these errors when uploading files to MindMap AI:

Unsupported File Type

File type 'unknown' is not supported. Please upload a supported file type.

What this means

The file you're trying to upload is not in one of the supported formats.

How to resolve

  1. Check if your file matches one of the supported types:
    .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp, .aac, .flac, .mp3, .m4a, .mpeg, .opus, .wav, .webm, .flv, .mov, .mpg, .mp4, .wmv, .3gp, .pdf, .txt, .md, .csv
  2. Ensure the file is not corrupted or improperly exported

Pro Tip: If your file type isn’t supported, convert it to a supported format and upload. For ZIP files, extract and upload the files individually in a supported format.

File Too Large

30MB max; upload smaller PDF file.

What this means

The uploaded file is larger than the size limit allowed by your subscription plan.

Size limits by plan

File Type Basic Plan Pro Plan Lifetime
PDF 30 MB 50 MB 50 MB
Audio 50 MB 100 MB 100 MB
Video 70 MB 150 MB 150 MB

Note: Make sure to check your plan and the file size before uploading. If your file exceeds the limit, consider upgrading to the Pro or Lifetime plan for higher upload allowances.

Unsupported File Type

File type 'application/zip' is not supported. Please upload a supported file type.

What this means

You attempted to upload a .zip file (type: application/x-zip), which is not supported by MindMap AI.

How to resolve

  1. Upload the extracted files individually in one of the supported formats

Media File Limit Exceeded

Only one audio or video file is allowed at a time.

What this means

MindMap AI allows uploading only one audio or video file at a time. Uploading multiple media files simultaneously is not supported and will result in an error.

Pro Tip: Upload only one audio or video file per upload session.
