The list is too large to save as a template

Posted on by

I got the following error message when I tried to save a SharePoint 2013 site as a template.

Error Message: The list is too large to save as a template. The The size of a template cannot exceed 52428800 bytes

TemplateSize1

Resolution: I had to run the following STSADM command on SharePoint server to increase the template size.

STSADM -o setproperty -propertyname max-template-document-size -propertyvalue 262144000
