Images
Braindrop can hold images as well as text, one per drop.
Attach an image
The upload button appears at the bottom-right of the capture field, but only while the field is empty — a drop is either text or an image, never both. Click it to pick a file, or drag an image straight onto the capture area.
Accepted types: PNG, JPEG, GIF and WEBP, up to 5 MB. A file that fails either check doesn’t attach — a dialog explains why:
- Only images are supported right now — try uploading a png, jpeg, gif or webp file.
- Image too large — that image can’t be uploaded. The limit is 5 MB.
An attached image saves immediately, the same as a text drop, and appears at the bottom of the list.
View an image drop
Collapsed, an image drop shows a small thumbnail beside its original filename. Click it to expand to the image’s full size (up to a limit), with the filename below. Animated GIFs play in both states.
Row actions
Image drops offer the same actions pill as text drops, with Download in place of Edit:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Copy | Copies the image itself to the clipboard |
| Share | Opens the macOS share sheet with the image |
| Download | Saves the original file, with its original filename, wherever you choose |
| Archive | Moves the drop to the Archive |
Image drops can be archived, restored and deleted exactly like text drops — see Archive.
