How do I attach files and PDFs to a chat?
Updated Nov 11, 2026 · 1 min read
You can attach documents and images to a message, then ask the AI to summarise, explain, translate or answer questions about them. Attaching files is part of Pro. On the Free plan, attaching shows the upgrade screen.
Attach a file
- In the message box, click the paperclip (Attach a file). You can also drag files into the chat or paste them.
- Choose up to 3 files for one message.
- Wait for the upload to finish, type your question and send.
Which files work
Images, PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, CSV and text files. ZIP files and common code files (for example .py, .js or .sql) also work. If a file type isn't supported, you'll see a message saying so.
Find files later
The Files panel lists the images and documents in the current chat. From there you can open or delete them.
Just a PDF?
The Chat with PDF tool starts with a summary of your PDF, then lets you ask anything about it.
Tips
- Ask precise questions: "List the payment terms in this contract" beats "what does this say?"
- Document analysis uses credits. See How do I buy and use credits?
