​
Upload files to the canvas

You can add images and videos to the canvas in three ways:
  • Drag and drop - Drag files from your device directly onto the canvas.
  • File picker - Click the Upload button in the bottom toolbar and select files from your device.
  • Paste from clipboard - Copy an image and press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on Mac) to paste it onto the canvas.
