# Upload and your library

> My Documents accepts PDF and images up to 64 MB, 20 files per upload.

**My Documents** (`/app/`) is the library. Upload here for a single document (or a handful). Use [Batch Processing](/guides/batch-processing) when you have a schema and many files.

## What you can upload today

| Accepted | Extensions                                                 |
| -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| PDF      | `.pdf`                                                     |
| Images   | `.jpg`, `.jpeg`, `.png`, `.webp`, `.heic`, `.tiff`, `.tif` |

Limits grounded in the product:

* **64 MB** per file.
* **20 files** in one My Documents upload.
* Images in a folder are converted to a PDF before extraction (up to 20 TIFF frames).

<Warning>
  [Digital formats](/digital-documents) (Word, Excel, HTML, Markdown, PowerPoint) are **not** accepted yet. Convert them to PDF first.
</Warning>

## Upload steps

1. Open **My Documents**.
2. Drag files onto the drop zone, or click **browse files**.
3. Optionally set **Translate to** for a translated transcription. Leave **None (original only)** to keep the source language.
4. Click **Begin Document Extraction**.

Cards show **Processing**, then **Done** or **Error**. Click a card to open the [document viewer](/concepts/document-processing).

Search the library from the bar on `/app/`. Search is keyword search over your documents and does not spend credits.

## After upload

* **Apply schema** on the document if you need structured fields, then reprocess.
* **Share** a [public link](/sharing/public-links).
* **Delete** removes the document from your library (soft-delete). Processing that is already in flight still finishes and is billed once.

For programmatic upload, mint a key on [Sign in and API keys](/authentication) and see the **API Reference** tab.
