Add your own files
Bring your reading material into Blobs.
Open Library and choose the option to add documents from your phone. Android’s file picker lets you select the material you want to import. Blobs reads and indexes the text locally.
Supported files
- Plain text (
.txt) - Markdown
- CSV
- JSON
- PDFs containing selectable text
Scanned-image PDFs need OCR, which Blobs doesn’t provide. Password-protected and certificate-encrypted PDFs aren’t supported.
Import limits
One collection can contain up to 50 files and 25 MiB of input in total. Individual files can be up to 10 MiB, or 25 MiB for JSON imports. PDFs are limited to 200 pages. Extracted text is limited to one million characters per document and five million per collection.
If a file is too large, split it into focused documents before importing. Text-based files usually give more useful searchable passages than images or complex page layouts.
Use your collection
Once installed, your collection appears in the library. Enable it to make it available for answers, search it directly, or choose that library for a conversation.
You can disable, export as a portable JSON pack, or remove a collection. Removing a saved collection is different from disabling it: disabling keeps the files, while removal frees their storage.
Keep private files private
Imported files remain in app-private storage. Blobs doesn’t upload them for indexing or inference. If you export a collection or conversation and share the resulting file, that copy leaves Blobs under your control.
