# LoadAttachment

> Use LoadAttachment in the ABBYY FlexiCapture API to download an attachment from a document, page, or batch as a File object, with a default 100 MB limit.

## What it does

Gets attachment as a file.

By default, this method can download files of up to 100 MB. This file size restriction can be disabled or modified using Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.

To set the maximum size of downloaded files:

* Navigate to *\Sites\Default Web Site\FlexiCapture12\Server > Application Settings*.
* Locate the *MaxAttachmentSizeForSoap* key and specify the file size in bytes. (Setting this key to 0 will disable the file size restriction.)

<Note>
  To download large files, we recommend using a [file storage](/flexi-capture/api/files/files).
</Note>
