Add an Image to an Update
Navigate to the Today Page
Click the ➕ Quick Add button on the bottom right to create a new update
There are 3 ways to add an image to an update:
Copy and paste
File selector
Download link
Copy the Image and Paste it Into the Text Field
You can quickly add an image to your update by copying it from another source and pasting it directly into the text field.
Copy the image from a website, document, or file viewer.
Click into the text field of your update.
Use Ctrl + V (Windows) or Command + V (Mac) to paste the image.
The image will automatically upload and appear in the update.
Note: This method does not work for .svg or .ico files. Use the file selector instead if you're trying to upload these formats.
Tip: If you’re copying from a website, make sure the image is not protected or restricted from copying. If it doesn’t paste correctly, try downloading the image and uploading it manually.
Select the Image to Embed From the File Browser
Upload an image directly from your device.
Click the Insert Images/Files icon
Click Browse from the modal
Browse your computer for the image file and select it
The image will upload and appear within your update
Insert the image as a download link
Adding a download link to an update is ideal for attachments that are too large to be entirely displayed in an update. It also allows users to easily download documents (such as audio, video, documents, and images) from the Today Page.
Click on the file icon
Drag and drop the file into the box or click to browse files for upload
Accepted Image File Types in Uploads
jpg (copy & paste, file select)
png (copy & paste, file select)
gif (copy & paste, file select -- the embedded image inserts at the bottom of the textfield.)
svg (file select)
ico (file select)
webp (copy & paste, file select)
tiff (copy & paste)
Note: If you receive the error "File is of invalid type", it is likely that you received this error incorrectly. Try again directly after and it should work!
