Lovable released the File Uploads feature on September 24, 2025. Users can drag files directly into the platform. The system will read the content and combine it with prompts to automatically generate a webpage or app prototype. Official examples include: converting CSV/XLSX files into interactive dashboards, turning PDF resumes into personal websites, converting PPTX/PDF slideshows into customizable presentation pages, and incorporating MP4/MP3 media and TTF/OTF fonts into projects. This feature emphasizes "upload as context," aiming to shorten the path from content to interface.
The community and documentation indicate that file uploads are already being used with existing workflows, media, and backend integrations. When using Supabase for storage, the free tier typically limits single files to 50MB, with specific size and permissions depending on the selected service and configuration. The official blog post doesn't detail broader data residency and privacy policies, so actual performance and stability will need to be evaluated in conjunction with the specific setup of your project and third-party services.
