Attaching files to comments

Updated

Overview

Sometimes a comment needs a little more than text. You can attach images and PDFs directly to comments and replies so reviewers have all the context they need in one place — mockups, reference screenshots, annotated PDFs, or anything else that helps get your point across.

Attachments are available on website projects and media projects (images, PDFs, and videos).

Adding an attachment

  1. Open a comment dialog or reply field.
  2. Click the + button on the left side of the toolbar.
  3. Select one or more files from your device.
  4. A preview thumbnail will appear below the text field. You can remove a file before submitting by hovering over the thumbnail and clicking the X.
  5. Click Submit (or Reply) as usual.

You can attach up to 5 files per comment or reply. Images and PDFs are both supported.

Viewing attachments

Attachments appear as thumbnails below the comment or reply text. Click an image thumbnail to open a full-size lightbox where you can zoom in and inspect details. PDF attachments show a document icon — click to open the file directly.

Comments that have attachments also display a small paperclip badge in list views and on the tasks board so they are easy to spot at a glance.

Editing attachments

When you edit a comment or reply, you can:

  • Remove an existing attachment by hovering over its thumbnail and clicking the X.
  • Add new files using the same + button.

The 5-file limit applies to the total after your edits, so if a comment already has 3 attachments you can add 2 more.

File size limits

Individual file size limits depend on your workspace plan:

PlanMax file size
Free2 MB
Pro20 MB
Team50 MB

Files that exceed the limit will be rejected before upload. Attachments do not count toward your workspace storage quota.

Who can attach files

Anyone who can leave a comment can attach files — workspace members and guests alike. If you are reviewing a project through a share link, you can add attachments the same way.

Good to know

  • Attachments are permanently deleted when the parent comment or reply is deleted.
  • The web app widget does not support attachments yet. This is coming soon.
  • Attached images are served from a CDN, so they load quickly for everyone on the team.
