How It Works

Bypass AI upload limits in three simple steps. No technical knowledge required.

Step 1

Upload Your Files

Start by uploading files in three different ways. Each method is designed for convenience and flexibility.

Drag & Drop Files

Simply drag individual files from your computer directly onto the upload area. Supports all common file types.

Drag & Drop Folders

Drop entire folders to upload all files at once. OneFile automatically traverses subdirectories.

Import from GitHub

Browse and select files from any public GitHub repository. Perfect for sharing codebases with AI.

Step 2

Smart Processing

OneFile intelligently processes your files with advanced filtering and optimization.

Text Extraction

Extracts text from PDFs, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and 50+ file types while preserving structure.

.gitignore Support

Automatically respects .gitignore files in your folders, skipping files you don't want to include.

Automatic Filtering

Skips images, binaries, node_modules, .git folders, and other unnecessary files automatically.

Structure Preservation

Maintains file paths and directory structure so AI understands your project organization.

Step 3

Copy or Download

Get your combined file and use it with any AI platform without restrictions.

Copy to Clipboard

One-click copy for instant pasting into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI chat interface.

Download as .txt

Download as 'onefile-prompt.txt' for later use or to share with others. Works offline.

Upload to AI

Upload your single combined file to any AI platform. No more file count restrictions!

Why This Works

Universal Text Format

OneFile converts everything into plain text with clear file paths, which all AI models can understand perfectly. No special formatting or proprietary formats.

Preserves Context

File paths and directory structure are maintained, so AI understands how your files relate to each other. Essential for code projects and complex documents.

Open Source & Transparent

Text/Code files stay in your browser. Documents are processed server-side but never stored. All code is public on GitHub, feel free to verify it yourself.

Works With All AI Platforms

ChatGPT

3 files/day (free), 10 files/msg (Plus)

Claude

5 files per conversation

Google Gemini

10 files max

Grok

Variable limits

Any AI Tool

Upload our one file!

Pro Tip: After combining files with OneFile, upload the single .txt file to any AI platform and include your prompt. The AI will have full context from all your files!

Technical Details

Client-Side Processing

.txt.md.json.yaml.js.py.cssetc.

Text files are read directly in your browser instantly.

Server-Side Processing

.pdf.docx.xlsx.pptx

Complex documents are sent to our API for text extraction, then returned to you.

Filtered Out

imagesbinariesnode_modules.gitdistbuild

Automatically skipped to keep output clean and relevant.

Your Privacy is Guaranteed

OneFile is designed with privacy as a core principle. Here's exactly how we protect your data:

Browser-Based Processing

Text files (.js, .py, .txt, .md, etc.) are processed entirely in your browser. They never leave your computer.

Temporary Server Processing

Complex documents (PDFs, DOCX, XLSX) are sent to our server only for text extraction, then immediately deleted. No storage, no logging.

No Account Required

We don't collect emails, names, or any personal information. Use OneFile anonymously.

Open Source

Our code is public on GitHub. You can verify exactly how we handle your files, or even host your own version.

Common Questions

What happens if I upload a large folder?

OneFile processes files asynchronously, showing a loading indicator. Large folders may take a few seconds to process, but your browser can typically handle thousands of files without issues.

How does the GitHub import work?

Sign in with GitHub, browse any public repository, select the files you want, and OneFile imports them directly. No need to clone the repo or download files manually.

Can I edit the combined output before using it?

The output preview is read-only, but after copying to clipboard or downloading, you can edit it in any text editor before uploading to your AI platform.
