# OneFile

> OneFile is a free, open-source web tool that solves file upload limits on AI platforms. ChatGPT Free allows only 3 file uploads per day, Plus offers 10 files max per message, and no platform supports direct folder uploads. OneFile combines unlimited files into a single formatted text file that can be uploaded to any AI as one file. No account required. MIT licensed.

OneFile extracts text content from uploaded files and formats them into a single structured .txt file with clear file path separators. The combined file works universally across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, and any LLM that accepts text input.

Key capabilities:

- Combine unlimited files into one AI-ready .txt file (bypasses per-day and per-message upload limits)
- Supports 50+ file types: PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, and code files (JS, TS, PY, Java, Go, Rust, C, C++, PHP, Ruby, and more)
- GitHub repository import: public repos without login, private repos via OAuth
- Text content import: paste raw text or notes directly
- Respects .gitignore rules when processing folders, auto-skips node_modules, .git, build artifacts
- Browser-based processing for text and code files (content never leaves the device)
- Server-side extraction for documents (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX): processed but never stored
- Completely free, no usage limits, no account required
