Sending Images

Alongside typing and voice, you can attach images directly to a chat message. This is useful when it's easier to show a companion something than to describe it in words.

Starting a session first

Image attachments are only available once a conversation has actually started. Before you've sent your first message or started a call, there's no attach option on the landing screen — start chatting first, then attach images to any message from there.

Attaching an image

There are three ways to add an image to a message:

• Attach button — Click the image icon next to the microphone button in the input bar to open your file picker and choose one or more images.
• Paste from clipboard — Copy an image (like a screenshot) and paste it into the input bar with Cmd/Ctrl + V. It attaches immediately.
• Drag and drop — Drag an image file from your desktop or another window and drop it onto the input card. A dashed border appears while you're dragging over it to show it's ready to receive the file.

Once added, each image shows up as a thumbnail above the text field, with a spinner while it uploads and a small X button to remove it before you send.

Limits

• Up to 5 images per message. Once you've attached the maximum, the attach button is disabled and you'll get a warning if you try to add more.
• 20MB per image. Larger files are skipped with a warning.
• Any image file your browser recognizes as an image will be accepted — images are automatically optimized and compressed before your message is sent, so you don't need to resize anything yourself.

Viewing an attached image

Click a thumbnail before sending to open it larger in a lightbox. Click anywhere outside the image, or the close button, to dismiss it.

Sending

Attached images are sent together with whatever text you've typed — you can send images with or without accompanying text. Once sent, the input bar clears and the previews reset, ready for your next message.
