In short. Gemini Apps allows up to 10 supported files in one prompt, subject to availability, with each file in an uploaded folder counted separately.
Definition: Yes. As of 17 October 2026, Gemini Apps allows up to 10 supported files in the same prompt, subject to availability. When you upload a folder, every file inside counts toward that per-prompt limit.
Key facts
- Google's Gemini file upload help allows up to 10 supported files in the same prompt, including documents, images, and videos.
- The same help page says that each file inside an uploaded folder counts toward the 10-file limit.
- A supported file other than a video can be up to 100 MB, while a video can be up to 2 GB.
- Google's Gemini limits documentation says that usage limits depend on prompt complexity, the models and features used, and chat length.
How many website documents can one prompt contain?
Google's file upload help gives the documented answer: up to 10 supported files in one Gemini Apps prompt, subject to availability. That limit applies when you select separate website documents such as PDFs or other supported files. The upload instructions place the question or prompt in the text box, then use Add files and Upload Files before submission.
If a website export is arranged as a folder, Google counts each file inside the folder toward the same limit. A ZIP file also has a maximum of 10 files, a maximum size of 100 MB, and cannot include video or audio. The 10-file figure is therefore the useful planning limit for a comparison made from ordinary uploaded documents.
What other upload paths does Google document?
Google's file upload help documents a separate path for one code folder or one GitHub repository with up to 5,000 files and a maximum size of 100 MB. That allowance is specific to the code-folder or repository option in Gemini Apps. The file-upload help also states that all supported file types other than video can be up to 100 MB, while each video can be up to 2 GB.
The same help page describes rolling limits for how much a user can upload and analyze during a period of time. Those limits can prevent another analysis even when the current prompt has fewer than 10 files. Google says the limit resets after some time.
What can limit a comparison before the file count?
The file count is only one boundary. Google's limits page gives context windows of 32k tokens without an AI plan, 128k tokens with AI Plus, and 1 million tokens with AI Pro or AI Ultra. It describes large file analysis as a medium relative usage cost because long documents, codebases, and spreadsheets require Gemini to read large blocks of data.
Google warns that an upload that is too large can produce a response that misses connections or details across the content. Its example says that a 1M token context window can cover up to 1,500 pages of text or 30,000 lines of code. These figures describe the documented context capacity, not a promise that every comparison will use all of those materials successfully.
How should you prepare a document comparison?
Upload the website documents as separate supported files when the comparison needs a file-by-file distinction. Google's upload instructions say to enter the question or prompt, select Add files, choose Upload Files, and then click Submit. Keep the total at or below 10 files and check each file against the 100 MB limit for non-video formats. If the material is a codebase, use the documented code-folder or GitHub repository path instead. Google says the context window determines how much uploaded content can be understood together at one time.

FAQ
Can I upload 10 website documents for one comparison?
Yes, Google's file upload help documents up to 10 supported files in the same prompt, subject to availability. Each file in an uploaded folder counts toward that limit.
Does a ZIP file increase the per-prompt count?
Google documents ZIP files as containing up to 10 files, with a maximum size of 100 MB and no video or audio files.
Why might Gemini miss a detail across the documents?
Google's limits documentation says that an upload exceeding the context window can lead to a response that misses connections or details throughout large files. The available context window depends on the plan described there.
