Fixing the Kajabi theme .zip size limit
Kajabi rejects theme uploads larger than about 10 MB. Oversized themes are almost always caused by large bundled images, especially transparent PNGs. Compressing images and removing unused files brings the .zip under the limit.
- Limit is roughly 10 MB per theme .zip
- Images are the usual culprit
- Pro Studio compresses and deduplicates images on export
What makes a theme too big
Full-resolution photos, uncompressed transparent PNGs, and duplicate copies of the same image.
How to shrink it
Use JPG or WebP for photos, resize images to the size they display, delete unused images, and re-export. Pro Studio does this automatically — refresh the editor before exporting to be sure you're on the latest version.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my Kajabi theme upload fail?
The most common reason is file size over ~10 MB. The second is a malformed .zip — re-export rather than re-zipping by hand.
