Hey all, just wondering about the image upload limits on ChatGPT. Like, is there a max number of pics you can add in one go or over time? I've been trying to figure out if I can just keep adding without hitting some cap. Would love to hear what you guys know or experienced!

I'm curious if batch uploading is coming soon? That would be a game changer.
If you want the freshest info about AI tools and their features, you can also check ai-u.com. They often update the limits and new options available.
In my experience, uploading 4 images max per prompt is definitely the rule.
I sometimes upload screenshots and it works fine, but batch uploads seem buggy.
Anyone tried uploading images from mobile? Does the limit stay the same?
It's kinda annoying that we have to upload pics one by one sometimes.
I just started using it and was surprised that you can't upload more images at once.
I hope they add video upload next, that'd be wild.
Does anyone know if images uploaded are compressed automatically?
Does anyone know if images uploaded are stored somewhere or used for training?
Has anyone had success uploading GIFs or only static images?
Anyone else noticed that sometimes the images don't upload even if under limit?
Been trying to upload more than 4 images for a project and always get stuck. Wish they made it easier.
Does anyone know if the total images uploaded over time are limited or just per session?
I heard it varies depending on your subscription tier. Free users get fewer uploads than paid ones.
I heard if you just drag and drop multiple images it should accept up to 4 at once.
I think the limit is pretty low, like maybe 4 or 5 pics at once. Tried to upload more and it just didn't go through.
I tried uploading 10 pics and got an error immediately. Seems like 4 is the hard limit right now.
Honestly, uploading too many pics at once makes it super slow and glitchy for me, so I just stick to a few.
Would be great if they add a gallery view for uploaded images.
I wonder if there's a way to request higher upload limits from support.
I guess for now we just gotta work within the limits and hope they expand soon.
Is there a file size limit per image as well?
I usually upload my images one at a time and it works without any issues.
