March 25, 2026 — Large pastes are now handled as attachments
Starting today forChatGPT Plus,Pro, andBusinessusers, long pastes are handled differently in ChatGPT.If you pastemore than 5k 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.
