Processing statuses

What each status on an uploading or processing asset means.

An asset shows a status from the moment its upload starts until its review copy is ready.

Upload and processing

StatusMeaning
UploadingThe browser or the Blender extension is still sending the file.
QueuedThe upload finished and processing is waiting for a worker.
ConvertingA model is being converted from its source format to the review format.
OptimizingThe review copy is being optimized for the browser.
ExtractingMetadata such as dimensions, animations, and cameras is being read.
ReadyThe version can be reviewed.
FailedProcessing stopped. The asset shows the reason.

Images and videos pass through the same pipeline with fewer steps. Thumbnails are generated separately and may arrive shortly after the version is ready.

Failed uploads

A failed version stays listed with its status and reason. Upload a corrected file as a new version, or delete the failed one to free its slot. See Troubleshooting for the common causes.
