Supported formats
File types you can import, and the size and length limits for model inputs and AI actions.
FlashBoards imports common image, video and audio files into a board. A file can sit on the board and still not fit a model's input, so when a model card shows stricter rules, follow those.
Import formats
Drag files onto the board, paste them, or use Import Media in the Media Browser. See Import media.
| Type | Formats |
|---|---|
| Image | PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, GIF, SVG, BMP, TIFF (only in browsers that can open it, such as Safari) |
| Video | MP4, MOV, AVI, WebM, M4V |
| Audio | WAV, MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, AIF, AIFF |
| Board archive | .refboard, compatible .zip (use Import Board) |
HEIC, AVIF and MKV aren't accepted. Some MOV files (often from iPhones) won't play in the browser; convert them to MP4 (H.264) and import again. There's no size limit at import.
Model inputs
Each input slot takes one kind of media: image slots take images, video slots take video, audio slots take audio. Multi-reference slots take several images, and video or audio where the model allows it.
Inputs can be up to about 100 MB. Common reasons a model rejects a file are too many pixels, the wrong aspect ratio or frame rate, a video that's too long, or no clear subject. Recompress or trim with Media tools when needed.
Video models that need reference clips at a constant 24 fps accept ordinary constant-24-fps exports. Variable frame rate clips are rejected; convert them with Convert → 24 FPS in Media tools.
AI action limits in the app
These apply when you use the actions from a board. The API has its own limits; see Public API.
| Action | Formats | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Describe image | JPG, PNG, WebP | Resized automatically |
| Describe video | MP4, MOV, WebM | Short clips; trim long videos first |
| Transcript | Audio, or video with sound | Up to 3 minutes and 32 MB. Not on shared boards |
| Image safe transform | JPG, PNG, WebP | About 15 MB |
| Video safe transform | MP4, MOV, WebM | About 100 MB |
| Shared board preview image | JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF | Common web image sizes |
