🚀 Flamel.ai's Approach

To ensure your content is published without issus:

• We automatically check media file sizes against the platform-specific limits.

• If a file exceeds these limits, we notify you with guidance on how to adjust your content accordingly.

• You can also use third party sites like https://squoosh.app/ to downsize your original media size to work within the requirements of the API.

By aligning with Facebook and Instagram's API requirements, Flamel.ai ensures reliable and efficient content publishing.
