You can attach any kind of file to a Bear note. Each file will be displayed in a small box reporting the name, modification date, and a representing icon. An additional preview of the attachment will be displayed in case of Images or PDFs. PDF files preview can be hidden with the right-click/long press menu.
## Mac
You can add a file to a note by dragging and dropping it into the _Editor_. You can achieve the same result by selecting `Format` → `File` in the menu bar.

**Pro tip**: Click an attachment in a note, then press the Space Bar to Quick Look its contents. As long as macOS supports Quick Look for that file type, you’ll get a preview of its contents without the need to open the file’s corresponding app.

## iOS
You can attach pictures and files to Bear notes by tapping either the camera icon or the attachments icon in Bear’s **BIU** keyboard.
