# Attachments
|
||
A [note](../Notes.md) in Trilium can _own_ one or more attachments, which can be either images or files. These attachments can be displayed or linked within the note that owns them.
|
||
|
||
This can be especially useful to include dependencies for your [scripts](../../Scripting.md). The <a class="reference-link" href="../../Advanced%20Usage/Advanced%20Showcases/Weight%20Tracker.md">Weight Tracker</a> shows how to use [chartjs](https://chartjs.org/) which is attached to the script note.
|
||
|
||
Each note exclusively owns its attachments, meaning attachments cannot be shared or linked from one note to another. If an attachment link is copied to a different note, the attachment itself is duplicated, and the copies are managed independently thereafter.
|
||
|
||
Attachments, especially image files, are the recommended method for embedding visuals in notes. It is important to link image attachments within the text of the owning note; otherwise, they will be automatically deleted after a configurable timeout period if not referenced.
|
||
|
||
## Converting notes to attachments
|
||
|
||
<a class="reference-link" href="../../Note%20Types/File.md">File</a> notes can be easily converted to attachments of the parent note.
|
||
|
||
To do so:
|
||
|
||
* For a single note, press the context menu from the <a class="reference-link" href="../UI%20Elements/Note%20buttons.md">Note buttons</a> and select _Convert into attachment_.
|
||
* For multiple notes, select the given notes in the <a class="reference-link" href="../UI%20Elements/Note%20Tree.md">Note Tree</a>, right click → Advanced → Convert to attachment.
|
||
|
||
## Attachment previews
|
||
|
||
Attachments share the same content preview for images, videos, PDFs, etc. as the <a class="reference-link" href="../../Note%20Types/File.md">File</a> note type. |
