### Embedding files
Many file types—such as images, audio, video, and PDFs—can be embedded directly into your notes.
- On **Desktop**, you can drag and drop a supported file into a note to embed it automatically.
- On **Mobile**, use the attachment options to insert or link a file.
See [[Embed files]] for more embedding options and syntax.
> [!NOTE]
> Support for audio, video, and other files depends on the codecs available on your device.
