- FAT32 file-size limit is (2^32)-1 bytes, or one byte less than a full 4GB.
- FAT32 has a 2TB limit on partition size.
- Whereas FAT16 has a 4GB limit on partition size.
- The file system is not the only source of constraint:
- Windows XP and Windows 2000 limit partition creation to no larger than 32GB on FAT32. This limitation is by design: Microsoft wants you to use NTFS for large drives.
- Applications could potentially impose their own limits

- The Microsoft OS imposed limit of 32GB can be side-stepped by formatting instead from the Apple Mac OS (OS X).
