Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.

Best for: Square preview cards in a grid of up to 6 columns, a ring over each while sending and a tooltip retry on failure

When to use

Profile pictures and cover banners replaced by one pick or drop, with an instant local preview
Multi file drop zones that check type, size and count, then list picks as thumbnails, cards or table rows
Upload queues with per file progress and retry, and photo grids put in order by drag before saving

When not to use

Documents listed as rows with type and size columns: use the File Upload Table example
Chips for files sent with a chat message, in the composer or the reply: use the Attachment component
A colored document icon labeled with its format, such as PDF or XLSX: use the File Type component
A meeting or booking form where an image drop is one field among many: use the Schedule blocks

Agent notes

defaultFiles points 2 of its 3 samples at /media/files placeholder paths; swap in the user's stored files
simulateUpload fakes progress and fails about 1 in 10 files at the end; feed real upload events into uploadFiles instead
No example sends a picked File to a server; picks stay in React state until you add the upload request
