Storage Quotas
Every creator has a storage quota that limits how much space their private asset packs can use. This page explains how to monitor your usage and what happens as you approach the limit.
Your Storage Quota
By default, every creator gets 100 MB of storage for private asset packs. This is enough for hundreds of illustrations or thousands of icons, depending on file size and format.
Public platform packs do not count toward your quota — only assets you upload to your own packs.
Moving assets from one of your packs to another does not increase your storage usage.
Monitoring Your Usage
Your current storage usage is always visible in two places on the Visual Assets page:
Storage meter in the toolbar — A compact progress bar showing your usage as a fraction (e.g., "12.5 / 100.0 MB"). The bar changes color as you approach the limit.
Storage alert banner — When your usage crosses a warning threshold, a banner appears above the pack grid with guidance on what to do.
Warning Levels
The system alerts you at three thresholds:
| Usage | Level | What You See |
|---|---|---|
| Below 80% | Normal | Green meter, no alert |
| 80 – 89% | Warning | Yellow meter + "Storage getting full" banner. Consider removing unused assets. |
| 90 – 99% | Critical | Red meter + "Storage almost full" banner. Uploads may be blocked soon. |
| 100% | Exceeded | Red meter + "Storage limit reached" banner. New uploads are blocked. |
What Happens at the Limit
When your storage is full:
- Uploads are blocked — You cannot add new assets to any of your packs until you free up space
- Existing assets are not affected — Everything already uploaded continues to work normally on your cards
- Editing metadata still works — You can rename, recategorize, and manage existing assets
- Deleting assets frees space — Remove assets you no longer need to get back under the limit
Freeing Up Space
To reduce your storage usage:
- Open the Visual Assets page
- Review your packs for assets you no longer use
- Delete individual assets or use bulk delete to remove multiple assets at once
- Your storage meter updates immediately after deletion
Tips:
- Large illustration files (PNG, high-resolution) use more space than SVGs or icons
- Check packs you created for testing or experimentation — they often contain assets you no longer need
- Deleting an entire pack removes all its assets and frees all their storage at once
Supported Formats and Size Limits
Each individual file upload is limited to 10 MB. The supported formats are:
| Format | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| SVG | Vector illustrations and icons (smallest file size) |
| PNG | Raster illustrations with transparency |
| JPEG | Photos and detailed artwork |
| WebP | Modern compressed format |
| GIF | Simple animations or legacy assets |
SVG files are generally the most storage-efficient choice for illustrations and icons.
