| Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation In the opinion of The Gap, Inc. (Gap Inc., the “Company,” “we,” and “our”) management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all normal and recurring adjustments (except as otherwise disclosed) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows as of May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 and for all periods presented. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 31, 2026 has been derived from our audited financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. We suggest that you read these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our most significant accounting judgments include, but are not limited to, estimates and assumptions used for inventory valuation, income taxes and valuation allowances, sales return and bad debt allowances, deferred revenue, and the impairment of long-lived assets. In fiscal 2025, the United States enacted significant changes to its trade policy and imposed substantial tariffs on imported goods from most countries. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated certain tariffs previously imposed, and subsequently, new tariffs were imposed pursuant to alternative statutory authority. As there continues to be ongoing legal and regulatory developments to trade policy and tariffs, we will continue to consider the impact of these developments on the assumptions and estimates used when preparing our quarterly financial statements. Interchange Fee Settlement In February 2026, the Company entered into settlement agreements to resolve credit card interchange fee litigation matters in which we were a plaintiff. As a result of this settlement, we recorded a gain of $313 million, net of legal fees, which was recognized within operating expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Restricted Cash As of May 2, 2026, January 31, 2026, and May 3, 2025, restricted cash primarily included consideration that serves as collateral for our insurance obligations and certain other obligations occurring in the normal course of business. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
