Why can’t Seedance 2.0 upload images?

In real usage, upload failures are usually caused by a combination of factors rather than a single reason.

Network issues

One of the most common causes:

  • Unstable network
  • Interrupted upload
  • Request failure

👉 Typical symptom: the upload gets stuck or fails immediately

Image format or size limits

Common restrictions include:

  • HEIC and similar formats may not be supported
  • Images that are too large, for example over 10MB

👉 The system may reject the upload directly

Browser or cache issues

For example:

  • Cache conflicts
  • Extension interference

👉 This can cause upload API errors

Server or system issues

During peak traffic:

  • Upload endpoints may be congested
  • Requests may fail
