Attachments and export¶

Ollama Easy GUI allows you to attach documents to conversations and export responses in various formats. Let's see how to use these features.

Attaching files¶

You can attach files to have them analyzed by the model. Supported formats are:

• Documents: PDF, Word (.docx), text files (.txt, .md)
• Images: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP
• Code: any plain text file

How to attach a file¶

Click the paperclip icon in the input area or drag files directly into the window:

You can select one or more files, or an entire folder. Selected files will appear below the text area:

Write your question and send. The model will receive both your message and the content of the attached files.

Usage examples¶

Analyzing a document:

Attach a contract PDF and ask: "Summarize the main clauses of this contract and flag any critical points"

Code review:

Attach a code file and ask: "Check this Python code and suggest improvements"

Describing an image:

Attach an image and ask: "Describe what you see in this image" (requires a multimodal model)

Attachment limits¶

There are some limitations to consider:

• Maximum size: 50 MB per file
• Images: require multimodal models (like llava or bakllava)
• Complex PDFs: tables and elaborate layouts might not be interpreted perfectly

For very long documents, consider breaking up the analysis: first ask for a general summary, then dig into specific sections.

Exporting conversations¶

You can save individual messages or entire conversations in different formats.

Exporting a single message¶

Hover over a model response and click the download icon. Choose the format:

• Markdown (.md): preserves formatting, ideal for documentation
• Text (.txt): universal format, readable anywhere
• Word (.docx): for formal documents or sharing

Exporting an entire conversation¶

To export the whole conversation, use the conversation menu in the left sidebar. You'll find the same format options.

Where data is saved¶

All your data stays on the local computer:

Conversation files are simple readable JSON. You can back them up by copying the entire app/data folder.
