Images and files
Attach a photo, a screenshot, a PDF or a spreadsheet and ask about it. Tabloy reads the file, including the pictures inside it.
Attach
Press + next to the message box and choose the file, or drop it into the chat. You can attach several files to one message. Write your question in the same message or in the next one.

What Tabloy reads
| You attach | What happens |
|---|---|
| Image (PNG, JPG, screenshot, photo) | The model looks at the image and answers about it. |
| PDF, Word, PowerPoint, text, Markdown | The text is read. Pictures inside the document are read too, with what they show noted where they stood in the text. |
| Excel, CSV, JSON | You choose: read it as a document, or use it as a dataset for analysis. See below. |
A file that fits in one reading is given to the model whole. A long file is searched, so a question about page 40 still gets the part it needs.
Tables: file or dataset?
When you attach a spreadsheet or a CSV, Tabloy asks how should this file be used?
- Regular file: just read it. The model reads the text of the table and answers from what it says. Good for questions about the content, summaries, edits and translation. Ready at once. No calculations over all rows.
- Dataset: for analytics. Tabloy studies the table, builds its Context (columns, types, what each field means) and answers with exact totals, breakdowns and charts over every row. The dataset stays in the chat for every next message and is saved in Datasets for later.
For numbers, choose Dataset. Everything about that path is in Data.
Files stay in the chat
An attached file is part of that chat. Ask about it again three messages later without attaching it again. Hover the file above the message box to remove it from the chat.
Use the file in a build
A deck, a report or a website asked for in the same chat is built from the files you attached: the facts, the numbers and the images. Say what you want made from it:
