When the effect package size is 5.0MB or smaller, it will create a QR code. Effect packages sized between 5 and 5.05MB may be read in-tool as 5MB (in yellow text) due to an error. Per our sizing rules, you will still not be able to generate a preview code with an effect over 5MB in size.
The crop feature for thumbnail uploads may not function correctly. For best results, crop your effect before uploading using the thumbnail template: https://effecthouse.tiktok.com/thumbnail-creation/.
