ā Frequently Asked Questions
What is the attachment size limit for Azure DevOps work items?+
60MB per attachment for Azure DevOps work items.
Why is my PDF too large to attach to an Azure DevOps work item?+
PDFs with many embedded screenshots, diagrams, or scanned pages can easily exceed 60MB. Compressing the embedded images reduces the file size significantly.
What types of PDFs are most likely to exceed the Azure DevOps 60MB limit?+
Design specifications with many screenshots, test reports with embedded images, and scanned documents are the most common offenders. Text-only PDFs are almost always well under 60MB.
Can I link to a PDF instead of attaching it in Azure DevOps?+
Yes. You can store the PDF in Azure Blob Storage or SharePoint and paste the link into the work item description or comment instead of attaching the file directly.
