# Share a PDF or image

> Upload a PDF or image and share it with a link, access control, and analytics — for client reports, mood boards, lookbooks, and proposals.

Shareable isn't just for HTML pages. Drop in a **PDF** or an **image** (PNG, JPG, WebP,
or GIF) and you get the same thing you get for a page: a clean link, control over who
can open it, and analytics that tell you *who viewed it and when*.

That makes it a great fit for things people share visually and privately:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Reports & proposals" icon="file-pdf">
    Send a client a PDF report or proposal behind a link you control — and see when they
    open it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Mood & inspiration boards" icon="palette">
    Interior-design boards, wedding/event inspiration, brand look-and-feel — share with a
    client or partner, privately, and know they looked.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Do it in 4 steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Drop the file in">
    On your dashboard, **drag a PDF or image** into the upload area (or click to choose
    one). PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF images are supported.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name it">
    Give it a title — this becomes the page title and the share-preview text. Your file
    uploads and a **private** page is created.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose who can see it">
    In the **Share** dialog, pick an access mode — anyone with the link, a password,
    specific invited people, or anyone with a verified email. See
    [Sharing & access](/guides/sharing-and-access).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send the link, watch the views">
    Copy the link and send it. Viewers see your file in a clean branded viewer with a
    **Download** button — no account needed. Turn on **Email me when viewed** to get a
    heads-up the moment it's opened, and check [Analytics](/guides/analytics) for who
    viewed and when.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  **Made it with AI?** Claude Design, ChatGPT, and Gemini can export a PDF (or generate an image)
  — drop that straight into Shareable. See
  [Design a page with Claude Design](/cookbook/claude-design).
</Tip>

<Note>
  **A few notes:** files are capped at 5 MB on the free plan; editable documents like
  **.docx / .pptx** (and spreadsheets) are best **exported to PDF** first — Shareable renders
  PDFs and images, not Office files; and **SVG** images aren't supported (export a PNG instead).
  You can publish a PDF or image straight from the **API or MCP** (`publish_file`), not just the
  dashboard.
