Add photos straight from my phone
The photos are on your phone; the website is somewhere else entirely - and the gap between the two is where updates go to die. On a bernard-hosted site, the chat you paste photos into is the way onto your site.
The prompt
“I’m going to paste some photos from my phone - add them to my [page name] page, with short captions based on what I tell you about each one.”
Signed in, Get my prompt fills in your site for you. Otherwise press Copy and fill in the [bracketed] parts. First time? Connect your AI to bernard once: Use your own AI (opens in a new tab).
How it works
- Connect bernard to your AI (once). Log in to bernard, open your site, go to Use your own AI, and paste the setup prompt into your AI to connect it - a one-time setup.
- Paste it into your AI - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use - then attach or paste the photos straight into the chat and say where they should go.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Check the photos look right where they’ve landed, press Approve, and they’re live.
Tell the AI a little about each photo as you paste it - what it shows, which page it belongs on - and it writes captions and descriptions to match, so the images help your site get found, not just looked at.
Questions people ask
- How do I get photos from my phone onto my website?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, open the AI app you already use - ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini - paste or attach the photos into the chat, and say where they should go. The AI uploads them to your site, and nothing goes live until you approve the preview.
- Do I need to transfer the photos to a computer first?
- No - the whole thing works from your phone. The AI apps all accept photos straight from your camera roll, and that’s all bernard needs.
- Is there a size limit on photos?
- Each file can be up to 10 MB, which comfortably covers a phone photo, and your site has 500 MB of space overall. Your site’s own allowance is on your Library page.
