# How do I upload X-rays, photos or old paper files to a patient?

> Add X-rays, photos and scanned documents to a patient's file.

**Short answer:** open the patient, then use the **X-Rays** tab for X-rays and the **Gallery** tab for photos and scanned paper files.

**1. Open the patient**

Search for the patient at the top of the page and open their profile.

**2. Upload an X-ray**

Open the **X-Rays** tab, click **New X-Ray** and choose a layout or **Free Form**. Drag an image into each box, enter a **Name** and click **Save**.

**3. Upload photos or old paper files**

Open the **Gallery** tab, click **New Folder** to create a folder, then **Upload Files** (or drag the files in).

**4. For one tooth or treatment**

On the chart, open the treatment's menu and click **New X-Ray** or **Upload Image**.

> [!TIP]
>
> Every file of the patient, including X-ray and gallery images, is also listed in **Profile → Files**, where you can upload several files at once and rename or delete them.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Files use your clinic's storage space (**Settings → Clinic → Main**). Can't see the upload buttons? Ask the owner to give your group **Add New** on the **X-Rays** and **Files** rows. See [Give a user a missing permission](https://docs.dentolize.com/en/faq/missing-permission.md).
