# Parts

## Add upload part

`$ openai uploads:parts create`

**post** `/uploads/{upload_id}/parts`

Adds a [Part](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/uploads/part-object) to an [Upload](https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/uploads/object) object. A Part represents a chunk of bytes from the file you are trying to upload.

Each Part can be at most 64 MB, and you can add Parts until you hit the Upload maximum of 8 GB.
