File Attachments
Beyond typing, you can attach images, PDFs or other files in chat so the AI can read the contents directly.
How to Attach
- Click the "📎" icon next to the input, or drag a file onto the chat window.
- Once the thumbnail or filename appears above the input, add a text prompt (e.g. "Please summarize this PDF").
- Hit send — the file goes to the AI alongside the message.
Supported Formats
- Images: PNG, JPG, WebP — the AI can view them, OCR text inside, and identify contents.
- Documents: PDF, plain text, Word, Markdown — the AI reads the content to answer.
- Spreadsheets: CSV, Excel — the AI can organize or compute as instructed.
Size & Count Limits
- Per-file limit depends on plan, typically 10 MB to 50 MB.
- Total storage counts against the "File storage" quota — see Quotas & Limits.
- One message can carry multiple files, bounded by the combined size.
How the AI Uses Files
During a task the AI may re-read your uploads repeatedly, write extracts into long-term memory, or quote from them in replies. For very large files the AI may extract key parts before continuing — this is normal.
Delete & Manage
Panel's "Database" or "Settings → Files" shows every uploaded file and lets you reclaim space.
TIP
All three platforms support attachments: Panel supports drag-and-drop, Desktop can pick from local disk, and the mobile app can upload straight from the camera or photo library.
