Project not saving

My project is not saving despite having a good internet connection.
The project size is 2.75 mb
It has less than 1800 blocks
What is the maximum file size for scratch projects?
Why is it not saving?

Project not saving

Check if you are signed in by opening another tab. If you are not, sign in and try saving again. If that doesn't work, try saving to your computer for now.

This is most likely the case, but it also could be failing to save because a music/sound file you added to the game is too large. If that is the case, maybe try removing it, or cutting it to make the sound smaller, hope this helps!

If your project includes any lists that have over 200 000 items, that may be the reason why it doesn't save. In the meantime, you could just download your project and export the list (if you need) before saving your project.

Project not saving

Let me know if any of these apply:
  • Using Scratch extensions or browser add-ons
  • Long audio/music files
  • Very big variables or lists

To check the real file size, make the project a .zip file and extract it's contents, do any files in there exceed 5 MB? Also, there could be server maintenance, so wait a bit.
