What this state means

Supported, with the qualification kept attached.

Static images only (PNG/JPEG/non-animated GIF). Free Vision usage is limited relative to paid plans.

Capability definition

Accepts images and interprets their visual content as part of a request.

Scope boundary

Image attachment, OCR, screenshot inspection, and video understanding are not interchangeable.

Researcher note

Image Inputs FAQ still says only Plus and Enterprise; Free Tier FAQ and agent workflows that convert screenshots contradict that narrow plan line. Prefer Free FAQ + multi-plan agent evidence.
