# Attach files to an invoice

Keep a timesheet, contract or photos on an invoice, and choose which files go with the invoice email.

Canonical: https://demo.qixcount.com/help/invoicing/attach-files-to-an-invoice

Who can do this: Owners, or people with *Create invoices*; changing a draft needs *Edit invoices*

Where: Sales, then Invoices

You'll need: A new or draft invoice

## Attach files

1. Open **Sales**, then **Invoices**, and select **New invoice**, or open a draft invoice to edit it.
2. Open **Files**, below **On the invoice**.
3. Select **Choose files**, or drop files on the box.
4. Tick **Send with the email** for each file the customer should get with the invoice email.
5. Save the invoice.

Picking files saves nothing on its own: they are kept when you save the draft, post it or post and email it.

## Limits

- PDF, JPG, PNG or WebP files, the same types bills accept.
- Up to 10 MB for each file.
- Up to 20 files on one invoice.
- Files ticked **Send with the email** can total 15 MB, so the email stays a size most mailboxes accept.

A file of another type or over 10 MB is refused when you pick it, and again when you save. When the ticked files total more than 15 MB, saving is refused; untick some and they stay on the invoice.

## Send files with the email

**Post and email** lists the ticked files under **Files sent with the email**, and so does the email dialog on the invoice page. Each invoice email attaches the ticked files, including an email sent again later from the invoice page. Payment reminders don't attach them.

## Change or remove files

On a draft, tick or untick **Send with the email**, or select **Remove** next to a file, then save. Before you save, **Keep** undoes a removal. A removed file is deleted when the draft is saved.

Files can be added and changed only while the invoice is a draft. After posting, the files stay with the invoice.

## See the files on the invoice

The invoice page shows a **Files** card with a download link for each file, and marks the ones that go with the email. Downloading needs *View invoices*.

Next, [send the invoice](https://demo.qixcount.com/help/invoicing/send-an-invoice) or [add billable costs](https://demo.qixcount.com/help/invoicing/add-billable-costs-to-an-invoice).
