  1. investigating Feb 09, 2026, 12:31 PM UTC

    Customers are experiencing issues with uploading assets, specifically SVGs. We are investigating.

  2. identified Feb 09, 2026, 12:48 PM UTC

    Uploads of XML-like file types, e.g. SVG, are failing. We are working on a resolution.

  3. identified Feb 09, 2026, 01:20 PM UTC

    We have enabled a simpler fallback uploader that provides less functionality while we investigate the issue (XML-like file types, e.g. SVG, are working again though). Customers will need to reload the Contentful WebApp to use the fallback uploader.

  4. monitoring Feb 09, 2026, 08:21 PM UTC

    We were able to mitigate the issue and have re-enabled the regular file uploader.
