What is PDF & Image Upload?
You can now attach PDF or image files directly to a session in PatientNotes. The content is extracted and used as additional context when generating your clinical notes — so you don't have to retype results or findings manually.
Common use cases:
X-ray or MRI reports
Pathology results
Pre-session assessment forms (e.g. Pelvic Floor Continence Ax, outcome measures)
Referral letters
Previous clinical reports- Handwritten notes
How to enable it
PDF & Image Upload is currently an Early Access feature. To turn it on:
Open any session
Tap the Early Access / Beta features icon at the top of the session screen
Toggle PDF and Image Upload on
The feature will now appear across all your sessions
How to use it
In your session, tap "Show additional context and files"
Scroll down to the Files section
Tap Choose Files or drag and drop your file into the upload area
Supported formats: PDF, PNG, JPG, WEBP, GIF (50MB total per session)
PatientNotes will extract the text content and add it to your session context automatically
Record or type your session as normal — the file content will be included when your note is generated7. If you add files or context after the session, regenerate the note to incorporate the uploaded content.
Tips
You can attach multiple files to a single session
Works alongside the Context text field — use both together for maximum detail
Files are attached per session and not carried over to future sessions
For best results with PDFs, use text-based PDFs rather than scanned images where possible- You can also add files or context after a session and regenerate the note to update it.
