What is the maximum page size in Notion?

The maximum page size in Notion isn't defined by a fixed limit for blocks or total content size on paid plans, but rather by practical performance considerations and file upload restrictions. While you can technically add unlimited blocks to a single page on Free and all paid plans (Plus, Business, and Enterprise), your actual page size will be constrained by file upload limits and how well your device handles large amounts of content. Understanding these boundaries helps you build more effective workspaces without running into frustrating performance issues.

For blocks themselves—the fundamental building units like text paragraphs, to-do items, and embedded content—there's no hard ceiling once you're on a regular plan. The only exception occurs during Plus plan trials, where a soft limit of 1,500 blocks per workspace encourages upgrades. Once you're on any full paid subscription or using the standard Free plan as an individual, you can add as many blocks as your page can handle from a performance standpoint.

File uploads present more concrete restrictions that directly impact your page size. Free plan users face a 5MB limit per individual file, while paid plan subscribers can upload files up to approximately 2GB each, with some documentation suggesting limits as high as 5GB depending on file type. These limits affect how much media content you can embed directly into your pages, though you can always link to external files stored elsewhere if you need to reference larger materials.

The practical reality is that performance becomes your real limiting factor long before you hit any technical maximums. Pages with thousands of blocks or numerous large media files will load slowly and feel sluggish during editing, especially on mobile devices or slower internet connections. Notion's engineering team has implemented some performance safeguards, like limiting data visualization charts to 200 bars or slices, specifically to maintain responsiveness as content grows.

Your best approach involves balancing comprehensive content with optimal performance. Instead of cramming everything into massive single pages, consider breaking large documents into smaller, interconnected pages using Notion's linking capabilities. This strategy maintains easy navigation while ensuring each page loads quickly and remains responsive across all your devices, giving you the flexibility to build extensive knowledge bases without sacrificing the smooth experience that makes Notion so effective.
