OpenAI Expands Canvas Interface to All Free ChatGPT Tier Accounts

OpenAI has officially expanded access to its **Canvas** interface to all free-tier ChatGPT users worldwide. Previously exclusive to paid subscribers, Canvas provides a dedicated side-by-side workspace window alongside the standard chat interface, allowing users to collaborate with AI directly on writing and coding projects. With Canvas, users can highlight specific paragraphs, request inline edits, adjust document reading levels, and execute code inline without copying and pasting output back and forth. The interface supports multiple programming languages and provides real-time linting suggestions.
