👉 Fix: Compress your file below the required limit using the tool above.
Elicit upload failures are most often caused by exceeding the 20MB Basic plan limit. Other causes include uploading scanned image-based PDFs (not supported), very complex documents with many images or graphs, or uploading too many files at once. Compress your PDF and ensure it is text-searchable before retrying.

Compress your PDF below 20MB (Basic) or 200MB (Plus) using the tool above. Ensure the PDF is text-searchable, not a scanned image. Upload in batches of 75 or fewer files.Source: Elicit ↗
Elicit requires text-searchable PDFs. If your PDF is a scanned image, Elicit cannot extract text from it. Run OCR on the document first to make it text-searchable, then re-upload.Source: Elicit ↗
Elicit recommends batches of 75 or fewer files for best performance. Uploading very large batches can slow down processing.Source: Elicit ↗
