# Free AI chat in your browser. Private by default.

**73 free AI models on one account.** Attach images and files, switch models mid-chat, and keep every conversation on your device.

[See the models](https://freetheai.org/models)

Free account required. No card.

## Models, files, and your own keys in one window

Free models from several makers, files read right in your browser, and a place for keys you already pay for.

### Pick a model for each message.

Switch models in the middle of a conversation and compare answers. Turn thinking on when a question needs it.

[See the free models](https://freetheai.org/models)

### Attach images and documents.

Drop in photos, screenshots, PDFs, Word and PowerPoint files, or code. Documents are read in your browser and sent as text with your message.

[How attachments are handled](https://chat.freetheai.org/policy#attachments)

### Your chat history stays on this device.

Chats are saved in the browser you use, not on our servers. Pin the ones you use most and sort the rest into groups you can open and close.

### Bring your own provider keys.

Add any OpenAI-compatible provider next to the free models. Those messages go straight from your browser to the provider and do not use your free allowance.

### Commands and downloads.

Type @ to start a chat, switch models, or translate a pasted text. Download any chat as Markdown, a web page, plain text, JSON, or a spreadsheet.

## Your chats stay on your device

History is saved in the browser you chat in, not on our servers. You decide what to keep.

- **Where chats live**: In your browser on this device. Clearing site data or switching devices leaves them behind, so download the ones you want to keep.
- **Deleting**: Remove one chat from its menu, or every chat, saved key, and memory at once from your account menu.
- **What is sent**: When you send a message, it goes with the conversation it continues to the model's provider to get a reply. FreeTheAI passes it on and does not keep it; the provider handles it under its own policies.
- **Your provider keys**: Kept in your browser and never sent to FreeTheAI. Messages on your own connection go straight to that provider, under its terms.
- **Tracking**: The chat loads no ads and no analytics scripts.

## Questions

Something not covered here? Ask in our [Discord](https://freetheai.org/discord) or read the [full FAQ](https://freetheai.org/faq).

### Is FreeTheAI Chat free?

Yes. Every free FreeTheAI account gets 10 chat messages a day, and after that messages use the account's daily free requests. Free models need a quick daily check-in on FreeTheAI. No card is needed.

### Do I need an account?

Yes, a free FreeTheAI account. You sign in once on freetheai.org and the chat opens with the same account.

### Where are my chats stored?

Only in your own browser. FreeTheAI does not keep the text of your conversations on its servers. When you send a message, it goes with the conversation it continues to the model's provider to get a reply; we pass it on without keeping it, and the provider handles it under its own policies. Clearing your browser data or switching devices leaves saved chats behind, so download the ones you want to keep as Markdown, HTML, plain text, JSON, or CSV.

### Can I upload images and documents?

Yes. Images go to models that can read them, and PDF, Word, PowerPoint, and text or code files are read in your browser, then sent as text with your message. Every attachment is checked again on our side.

### Can I use my own API key?

Yes. Add any OpenAI-compatible provider with your own key. The key stays in your browser, those messages go straight from your browser to that provider, and they don't use your free messages. Chat is only the window for those messages: that provider's terms, privacy practices, and charges apply, and we don't see or control what it logs.

### Can the AI make mistakes?

Yes. AI answers can be wrong, out of date, or made up, so check anything important, and never treat them as medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.
