Limits & Considerations
| Limit | Free | Pro/Team |
|---|---|---|
| Files per conversation | 3 | 20 |
| Max file size | 5 MB | 25 MB |
| Image resolution | 2000px | 4000px |
Large Files
Very large files may be truncated to fit within the AI's context window. For best results, upload only the relevant portions of large documents.
Tips for Best Results
Be Specific
Tell the AI what you want to do with the file: "Summarize this document" or "Find errors in this code".
Upload Relevant Files Only
Each file uses context tokens. Upload only what's needed for your question.
Use Clear Filenames
Descriptive filenames help the AI understand what each file contains.
