Vercel has increased its Container Registry limit for each compressed image layer to 2 GB from 500 MB, allowing users to push larger layers without splitting them. The total image size limit remains 15 GB.

The company identifies large toolchains and dependency sets as uses for the higher limit, including custom Vercel Sandbox environments for coding-agent evaluations. Users can build and push images with Docker and the Vercel CLI after linking their project and authenticating Docker.
