- free tier: "When uploading media files to Ghost, while there is no limit on the number of files you can upload to your site, there is a file size limit based on your Ghost(Pro) plan.

- limits:
  - per-object-cap (binding): per-object-cap 5 MB [1]
- limits note: per-object-cap 5 MB (free/Starter), 100 MB (Publisher), 250 MB (Business), 1 GB (Custom). No file-count cap on any plan. Ghost Fair Use Policy constrains 'other file types made available' — enforcement is the practical ceiling.
- interface detail: rest
- tooling: Ghost Content API + Admin API (REST), official JS SDK. Self-hosted Ghost has no file-count or size limit except the web server config: "The upload limit is effectively determined by the web server that's serving your Ghost site."
- composes with: The interesting half is not Ghost(Pro) — it is that Ghost's unlimited-file design means a self-hosted Ghost on any free host inherits an unbounded media library.
- reliability: Ghost(Pro) free trial expires; the unlimited-file behaviour only persists on a paid plan or self-hosted install.
- notes: the same as the free tier
