For the acquisition of files and images, SeaTable provides you with the two column types of the same name. The image column is a restricted file column , because it only accepts special image file formats. This restriction can be very handy in certain use cases.

The Image column type stores any number of image files in BMP, GIF, ICO, JPG, PNG, SVG and TIF file formats. The Image column is thus a file column restricted to image file formats and offers a preview in the form of a thumbnail image.
