# Plan limits

## Overleaf plan limits

Overleaf is [free to use](/getting-started/free-and-premium-plans.md); however, our range of [premium plans](https://www.overleaf.com/plans) provide a number of [additional features](/getting-started/free-and-premium-plans/premium-features.md):

|                                                  | Free plan             | Premium plans         |
| ------------------------------------------------ | --------------------- | --------------------- |
| Compile timeout                                  | 10 seconds            | 240 seconds           |
| Maximum number of files per project              | 2000                  | 2000                  |
| Maximum size of editable material per project    | 7 MB                  | 7 MB                  |
| Maximum size of an individual editable text file | 2 MB<sup>\*</sup>     | 2 MB<sup>\*</sup>     |
| Maximum size of an individual upload             | 50 MB                 | 50 MB                 |
| Maximum size of project                          | Unlimited<sup>†</sup> | Unlimited<sup>†</sup> |
| Maximum number of projects                       | Unlimited             | Unlimited             |

<sup>\*</sup> Some larger files may remain editable under certain circumstances. However, to ensure that a file remains editable, you should limit its size to 2 MB or less.

<sup>†</sup> There's no enforced limit on total project size. However, you may find some technical limitations when working with very large projects. We recommend a maximum project size of 500 MB, or less than 100 MB if using [GitHub sync](/integrations-and-add-ons/git-integration-and-github-synchronization/github-synchronization.md) or our [Git integration](/integrations-and-add-ons/git-integration-and-github-synchronization/git-integration.md). Users with projects over 4 GB may also experience problems with operations such as project copy. Projects above these sizes may work, but staying within these limits will give you the best experience.

## More about our premium plans

Our [premium plans](https://www.overleaf.com/plans) include the Standard, Professional, and Student plans. We also offer plans for groups and organizations. As well as a longer compile timeout, they provide additional features such as [project history](/writing-and-editing/history-and-versioning.md), [track changes](/collaborating/track-changes.md) and integrations with [Git](/integrations-and-add-ons/git-integration-and-github-synchronization/git-integration.md) and [GitHub](/integrations-and-add-ons/git-integration-and-github-synchronization/github-synchronization.md), [Dropbox](/integrations-and-add-ons/dropbox.md), [Papers](/integrations-and-add-ons/reference-manager-integrations/papers.md), [Zotero](/integrations-and-add-ons/reference-manager-integrations/zotero.md) and [Mendeley](/integrations-and-add-ons/reference-manager-integrations/mendeley.md).

The Standard, Professional and Student plans also allow subscribers to invite more than one collaborator to their projects: 6 collaborators per project for Student subscriptions, 10 for Standard subscriptions, and an unlimited number for Professional subscriptions.

See the [plans page](https://www.overleaf.com/plans) for an overview of the available plans, and see our [Subscriptions, payments, and billing](/subscriptions-payments-and-billing/subscriptions-payments-and-billing.md) documentation for information about managing your current plan.
