Upload files
Upload your videos, images, and audio files to the TwelveLabs platform. Uploading creates an asset that you can then use in different workflows.
Depending on your requirements, choose one of the methods below.
To import files from your users’ Google Drive accounts, use Data connectors.
Direct uploads
Upload whole files in a single request.

- You want to upload a file in a single request
- You are uploading images (multipart uploads apply the same 32 MB limit)
- You are uploading a file from a URL (multipart uploads support only local files)
- Your files are small enough that chunking adds no benefit

Multipart uploads
Upload files as multiple chunks processed in parallel.
