# File refused

## What it means

The API answered with HTTP 422 and the error code `invalid_file`.

The uploaded file is too large, the wrong type or not what its name says. The message names the reason and the stored file is removed.

## How to handle it

Every error is an [RFC 9457](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9457) problem document (`application/problem+json`). Match on `code`, never on the message text. See [errors](/docs/api/errors) for the full list.
