# Create S3 Bucket

### Creating an S3 Bucket in AWS

By default, each AWS account can create up to 100 buckets. If you need more, you can request an increase to a maximum of 1,000 buckets by submitting a service limit increase. For more information on increasing your bucket limit, refer to [AWS Service Limits](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws_service_limits.html).

#### Steps to Create an S3 Bucket:

**Step 1:** Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at <https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/>.

**Step 2:** Click on "Create bucket."
