Does GitHub Copilot support File upload?
GitHub Copilot accepts user file uploads in Chat on Free, Pro, Pro Plus, Business, and Enterprise, including images and PDFs attached to prompts.
What this state means
Supported, with the qualification kept attached.
Chat supports attaching user files such as images and PDFs via drag-and-drop or upload. Not the same as opening a local workspace file already in the repo.
Accepts user files as first-class conversational or project context.
Repository workspace access is not automatically classified as a general-purpose file-upload feature.
Researcher note
Path A: docs.github.com upload-from-computer + github.blog attach images and PDFs on all plans. Boundary: chat attachment, not mere workspace read.
