Others have reported similar issues in this topic. Please refer to it for more information. > [@Unable to upload pdf file in ChatGPT 4](https://community.openai.com/t/unable-to-upload-pdf-file-in-chatgpt-4/661513): > > Unable to upload pdf file in ChatGPT 4.After signing into ChatGPT 4 and attempting to upload a PDF, I keep encountering an error message saying, “Unable to upload pdf file…” This issue persists even though my internet connection is stable, which I infer from my ability to access other sites without interruption. My trials spanned PDFs ranging from 300kB to 3MB, all resulting in the same upload error. I would appreciate assistance in determining the root of this problem. Thank you! [image] ---

I’ve had the same issue for weeks now. Two different browsers, cleared the caches, and the files are only like 150kb each. Would love to know a solution. ---
