# Images & URLs

You can add images and URLs to the aider chat.

## Images

Aider supports working with image files for many vision-capable models
like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5 Sonnet.
Adding images to a chat can be helpful in many situations:

- Add screenshots of web pages or UIs that you want aider to build or modify.
- Show aider a mockup of a UI you want to build.
- Screenshot an error message that is otherwise hard to copy & paste as text.
- Etc.

To add images to the chat:

- Use `/add <image-filename>` from within the chat
- Launch aider with image filenames on the command line: `aider --sonnet <image-filename>`

## URLs

Aider can scrape the text from URLs and add it to the chat.
This can be helpful to:

- Include documentation pages for less popular APIs.
- Include the latest docs for libraries or packages that are newer than the model's training cutoff date.
- Etc.

To add URLs to the chat:

- Use `/web <url>`
- Just paste the URL into the chat and aider will ask if you want to add it.
