Copilot Chat on github.com adds support for images

The immersive mode of Copilot Chat on GitHub now supports image upload and analysis when using 4o, adding powerful multimodal capabilities to your development workflow. This feature was previously exclusively available on VS Code and Visual Studio.

✨ What’s new?

  • 🔗 Image upload & analysis: Upload, paste, or drag images directly into Copilot conversations.
  • 🧠 Visual context understanding: Ask questions about code screenshots, UI designs, system diagrams, and more.
  • Image to code: Generate HTML files based on images and preview them in the side panel.

With so much of the software development lifecycle happening through images, diagrams, and other visual artifacts, we hope this release brings you closer to communicating and collaborating with Copilot in ways that mirror how you naturally think and work.
