How to Send Large Files on Canvas LMS

Bypass the 500MB limit

The Problem: Canvas LMS's File Size Limit

Canvas LMS limits file sharing to 500MB (500MB default, varies by institution).

With 30 million users, Canvas LMS is one of the most popular platforms for communication. But when you need to share large files like videos, high-resolution photos, presentations, or project files, you hit that frustrating size limit.

The Solution: Use SendFiles.Online

Instead of trying to compress or split your files, use SendFiles.Online to share files up to 3GB for free. You upload the files to our server, get a download link, and share that link on Canvas LMS. Your recipient clicks the link and downloads directly.

  • 3GB free transfers - much larger than Canvas LMS's 500MB limit
  • No account required - for you or your recipient
  • 7-day availability - plenty of time to download
  • Password protection - optional extra security
  • Works on any device - desktop, mobile, tablet
