The rule
Gumroad's help article says the limit depends on how a product is priced (Gumroad Help):
- Priced above $0.99: the largest single file you can upload is 20 GB, and you can add as many files as you want.
- Priced at $0 (including pay-what-you-want with a $0 minimum): all the product's files together can be at most 250 MB.
- "Download all" button: shown only when a product's content adds up to less than 500 MB. Over that, Gumroad suggests uploading one ZIP so buyers can get everything at once.
The same article's opening line says products priced "higher than $1" get the 20 GB limit, while its section heading says "greater than $0.99". If you price at exactly $1, check with Gumroad.
What it means for a planner or ebook
A paid planner or ebook PDF will not come near 20 GB. The limit that catches sellers is the free one: a freebie or lead magnet with several high-resolution PDFs can pass 250 MB. Choose "Free, or pay-what-you-want from $0" in the checker above to test that case.
If you also sell on Etsy, the file has to be under 20 MB per file there. Switch the checker to Etsy to see.

Before you upload: test the links
Gumroad sells a lot of ebooks, workbooks and course PDFs. A clickable table of contents and bookmarks make them easier to use; the table of contents tool adds both on your device, and the free link checker tests every link afterwards.
