Attaching Images

You can share images with the AI to help it understand what you want. This is especially useful for recreating a hand-drawn sketch, a whiteboard photo, or a screenshot of an existing diagram.

How to Attach an Image

  • Paste from clipboard – Copy an image and press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac) while focused on the chat input.

  • Use the slash command – Type /attach and pick a file from the file picker.

The attached image appears as a thumbnail next to your message before you send it.

What the AI Does with an Image

When you send an image along with a diagram-related request (for example, "Recreate this diagram"), the AI will:

  1. Analyze the image to identify nodes, connections, groups, and labels.

  2. Generate a diagram that matches the image as closely as possible.

  3. Show you a preview so you can review it before applying. See Reviewing & Staging Changes.

Supported Formats

PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF.

Tips for Good Results

  • Crop the image before attaching it so the AI focuses on the diagram, not the surrounding page or background.

  • Make sure labels are legible. Handwritten text works, but clearer writing gives better results.

  • Combine an image with a prompt. Instead of just attaching, say what you want: "Recreate this as a flowchart" or "Use this as a reference for the layout, but with our standard shapes."

  • Iterate. If the first result isn't quite right, reply with corrections rather than starting over: "Move the database to the right" or "Rename the top node to 'API Gateway'."
