Overview
- The Library for ChatGPT, which launched Tuesday, is rolling out on the website to Plus, Pro, and Business users with access blocked in the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK.
- The feature auto‑saves files you upload or create—documents, spreadsheets, presentations, PDFs, and images—into a single sidebar library for quick reuse.
- Deleting a conversation does not remove saved items, and OpenAI says files you delete from the library are purged from its systems within 30 days, with possible holds for security or legal reasons.
- Temporary Chats do not store files in the library, and AI‑generated images remain in a separate Images tab rather than in the new repository.
- Uploads face size caps of 512MB for most files, about 50MB for spreadsheets and CSVs, and 20MB for images, and users can attach saved items in new chats via the web composer’s Add from library option while training use depends on opt‑in data‑sharing settings.
