June 22, 2026 — Large pastes are now handled as attachments for more plans
Starting today forChatGPT Free and Gousers, long pastes are handled differently in ChatGPT.If you pastemore than 10k charactersinto the composer, ChatGPT will automatically convert the content into anattachmentinstead of inserting it directly into the text field. This keeps the composer cleaner and helps prevent large pastes from consuming your entire context window.You can still move the content back into the message at any time by clicking onShow in text fieldto convert the attachment back to a direct paste.This is already available toChatGPT Plus, Pro,andBusinessusers. Previously if you sent more than 5k characters it was sent as an attachment. The threshold has now also been raised to 10k characters.
