# Task attachments

Add images and other files to your tasks!

Attach the working files for a task so the brief, copy, and handoff stay beside the work they belong to.

## Turn on attachments

1. Open **Settings → Power Features**.
2. Turn on **Attachments**.
3. Open a task and find the **Attachments** section.

## Add a file

Choose **Add file** in the task editor, then select one or more files. Ellie supports common documents, images, and archive formats. Each file must be 25 MB or smaller.

When a task has attachments, its card shows a paperclip and the number of attached files. Open the task to see the file names and sizes.

## Open or download a file

Select an image to preview it. For other file types, use the file row or its menu to download the original.

## Attachments on iPhone and iPad

After the power feature is enabled, open a task and use the attachment button to choose one or more files. Tap an attachment to preview supported files or download the original.

## Attachments from Email → Task

Attachments sent through **Email → Task** can be added to the new Ellie task, with two email-specific limits:

1. All attachments on the email must total 10 MB or less.
2. Some file types, including executables, are blocked by the email processor.

Only attach files that the people with access to your Ellie workspace are allowed to view.
