Is there a way to tell how big your project is?

I would like to know how to tell how big your project is before you upload it to the Scratch web sight.  If there is a way to do this, I would be happy to know.  Hope you can help.  cool

Just check the file properties of your scratch project. It should tell you the file size.

does anyone know the biggest file size that you can have, and still be able to put it on the website? because i have tried to use a lot of music on one project and put it on the website, but it wouldnt let me because the file size was to big.


If you have unknown projects, don't give up hope! Go to Project Unkown!

The limit is 10 MG, although it depends on where you live, too. If you live in America, it might be easier to upload than from Russia, for example.

Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>

does music take up a lot of space?

Playing notes and drum sounds with the built-in synthesizer takes up very little space, but playing pre-recorded sounds takes up a lot.
