Hi @061albert!

Currently, image files (like .png or .jpg) are not supported by OpenAI’s vector stores.

Vector stores power file search by chunking and embedding text — only formats such as .pdf, .txt, .docx, .json, etc., are supported.

Here’s the official list of supported formats from OpenAI’s documentation.

the issue is that the image was saved in file pdf format , inside its image

OpenAI’s vector store can only process actual text content, not embedded images inside PDFs.
