Attachments

NuvoPad Pro lets you attach any file — images, PDFs, spreadsheets, archives — to a note. Attachments are stored locally on your machine and travel with the note when you export.

Adding Attachments

There are two ways to attach a file:

• Drag and drop — drag a file from Explorer directly onto the note editor area. The attachment is added immediately.
• File picker button — click the paperclip icon (📎) in the editor toolbar to open a system file picker. Select any single file to attach it.

Supported File Types

Any MIME type is accepted. NuvoPad does not restrict which file types can be attached. Common uses include images (PNG, JPG, SVG), documents (PDF, DOCX), spreadsheets (XLSX, CSV), and archives (ZIP, RAR).

Where Attachments Are Stored

Attachment files are stored in the NuvoPad data directory under an attachments/ subdirectory. Each file is assigned a UUID-based name to avoid collisions:

%APPDATA%\CybesisStudios.Nuvopad\attachments\

The original filename is preserved in the database and displayed in the attachments panel — only the on-disk filename is a UUID.

Viewing Attachments

Each note's attached files appear in the Attachments panel, accessible via the paperclip icon in the editor toolbar. The panel lists each file by its original name, size, and date added.

• Open — click a filename to open it with the system default application.
• Show in Explorer — right-click a file and select “Show in Explorer” to reveal its location in Windows Explorer.

Deleting Attachments

To remove an attachment, right-click it in the panel and select Delete. This removes the file from the database and permanently deletes it from disk. The action cannot be undone.

File Size Limit

Each individual attachment must be 10 MiB or smaller. Files exceeding this limit cannot be attached.

Attachments and Export

When exporting a notebook, NuvoPad offers an option to copy attachment files alongside the exported notes. See Exporting Notes for details.
