File support

Overview

Friday supports images and PDF documents as input, allowing you to share visual content, documentation, specifications, or reports directly in your conversations. You can drag and drop files from your file manager anywhere in the Friday application window, or paste images directly from your clipboard using Ctrl+V. Files are automatically processed and included with your message, making it easy to provide visual context or reference existing documents without copying and pasting text.

Quick Start

Drag an image or PDF file from Finder (macOS) or your file manager anywhere in the Friday application window:

[Image 1] Can you explain what's happening in this screenshot?

Or paste an image from your clipboard with Ctrl+V:

[Image 1] Can you explain what's happening in this screenshot?

Or drag a PDF file:

[PDF 1] Can you summarize the key points from this document?

Friday will automatically detect the file path and process it.

Usage

Supported File Types

Friday supports the following file formats:

  • Images: JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF
  • Documents: PDF

Adding Files to Your Input

You can add files to your input in two ways:

Drag and Drop: When you drag a file anywhere in the Friday application window, the file path is automatically detected and inserted into your input with a placeholder like [Image 1], [PDF 1], etc. This works even when the input area is not focused, making it easy to add files at any time.

Clipboard Paste: Press Ctrl+V to paste an image directly from your clipboard and insert it into your input with a placeholder like [Image 1].

Multiple Files

You can include multiple files in a single message by dragging them one at a time:

[Image 1] [Image 2] Compare these two screenshots and explain the differences

or

[PDF 1] [PDF 2] Compare these two documents and highlight the changes

Each file is numbered sequentially and processed independently. You can also mix images and PDFs in the same message.
