Files & Images


When to use

Files and images in Workflowy let you keep everything in one place. Just drag and drop to upload PDFs, screenshots, photos, or any other file right into a bullet.

You can preview images and documents directly inside your outline, or download them when needed.

It’s perfect for storing references, sharing assets, or adding visual context to your notes - no need to jump between apps.
