How do I upload files or use documents with Gemini AI?

Gemini AI can use files and documents in a few common ways, depending on the app or page you are using. In many cases, there is an attachment, upload, or plus button near the message box. You can select a supported file from your device, and Gemini AI can then read the content and answer questions about it, summarize it, extract key points, or help rewrite sections. If you are using a web version, look for a paperclip icon, a plus sign, or an Upload file option on the current page. That is usually the quickest way to add a document. If the file is large, scanned, or image based, results may be better if the text is selectable or if the scan is clear. Some products also support pasted text directly in the chat window, which can be useful for shorter documents. If you want help with a specific document type, the best next step is to open the current page and look for its file upload instructions or supported formats. If you do not see an upload control, the feature may not be available in that version.
