Image analysis on the Docker Scout platform, and analysis triggered by background
indexing in Docker Desktop, has an image file size limit of 10 GB (uncompressed).
To analyze images larger than that, you can either:
To analyze images larger than that:

- Attach [SBOM attestations](/manuals/build/metadata/attestations/sbom.md) at build-time
- Use the [CLI](#cli) to analyze the image locally
- Attach an [SBOM attestation](/manuals/build/metadata/attestations/sbom.md) at build-time. When an image includes an SBOM attestation, Docker Scout uses it instead of generating one, so the 10 GB limit doesn’t apply.
- Alternatively, you can use the [CLI](#cli) to analyze the image locally. The 10 GB limit doesn’t apply when using the CLI. If the image includes an SBOM attestation, the CLI uses it to complete the analysis faster.

Images analyzed locally with the CLI and images with SBOM attestations
have no maximum file size.
