File uploads: formats, size, and errors
Supported file types, what to do when an upload fails, and how BenAsk uses uploaded files without exposing unnecessary personal data.
Upload PDFs and common image formats when the product accepts them. Prefer searchable PDFs generated by your employer or carrier portal.

If an upload fails
- Try re-exporting the PDF from the source system (avoids scanned “flat” images when possible).
- Reduce file size by splitting very large packets into logical parts.
- Check your network connection and retry after a short wait.
