1252 Although the API supports up to 600 images for each request, [request size limits](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/overview#request-size-limits) can be reached first: 32 MB for standard endpoints, and lower on some partner-operated platforms, such as Amazon Bedrock and Claude Models on Google Cloud (Google managed). For many images, consider [uploading with the Files API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/vision#files-api-image-example) and referencing by `file_id` to keep request payloads small.
1286 Although the API supports up to 600 images for each request, [request size limits](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/overview#request-size-limits) can be reached first. The limit is 128 MB on the first-party Claude API, and other platforms have their own limits. For many images, consider [uploading with the Files API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/vision#files-api-image-example) and referencing by `file_id` to keep request payloads small.
12531287
12541288 Even when using the Files API, requests with many large images can fail before reaching the 600-image count. Reduce image dimensions or file sizes (for example, by downsampling) before uploading (see [Resolution and token cost](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/vision#evaluate-image-size)).
