Yes, Copilot can read images: both Microsoft Copilot and GitHub Copilot let you attach a photo or screenshot and ask questions about it.
As of November 14, 2026, according to Microsoft and GitHub documentation:
- Microsoft Copilot Chat: select Add and manage sources, then Upload images and files. You can ask about uploaded images and about images embedded in PowerPoint and Word files, per Microsoft Support.
- Formats: with a work or school Copilot license, PNG, JPG, JPEG, GIF and BMP images can be analyzed or edited.
- Live vision: sharing your screen or phone camera works only during a voice conversation and requires a Copilot license (work) or Microsoft 365 Personal, Family or Premium (personal).
- GitHub Copilot: image and PDF attachments are on by default for all plans, including Free, in github.com chat, VS Code and Copilot CLI. Formats are JPEG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, HEIC and HEIF, and you must pick a model that supports image input.
