Runway Agent can read documents you upload and use their content directly in your generations, so a brief, script or spreadsheet becomes creative direction without copying anything out by hand. Agent can also use a font you attach when it renders text.
Which Files You Can Upload to Agent
Alongside your images and other references, Agent accepts two more kinds of files:
- Documents — PDF, CSV, JSON, TXT, Markdown (.md), SRT and VTT
- Fonts — OTF and TTF
PDFs can be text-based or scanned and must be 20MB or smaller.
Uploading a Document or Font
- Navigate to Agent and open a new or existing session.
- Select the + in the bottom left of the prompt box, or drag the file from your computer into the prompt box.
- Write a prompt describing what you want Agent to do with the file.
- Press Enter or Return to begin collaborating with Agent.
What Agent Can Do with a Document
Anything Agent generates in the session, whether images, video, audio or a full multi-shot project, can draw on an uploaded document's content. A few examples:
- Generate from a brief or script — Agent pulls the tone, references and specs from your document into the images and video it creates, so a 20-page PDF brief or a script saved as a .txt becomes the creative direction without retyping any of it
- Build on results and research — upload campaign results as a CSV or a research report as a PDF and ask Agent to create new content informed by what's in it, like a stronger set of ads based on what performed
- Recreate or localize a deck — upload a PDF deck and Agent can regenerate its slides in another language or style. You can also ask for a slide-by-slide translation directly in chat
Using Your Own Font
Attach an OTF or TTF file and ask Agent to render text in that font. Fonts attach the same way as documents and appear as a tile in the prompt box with your other references.
FAQ
Common questions about uploading files to Agent.
Can I upload a Word document or Google Doc?
Not directly. Export or save it as a PDF or .txt first, then upload that file.
Can I upload a spreadsheet?
Export it as a CSV first. Excel and Google Sheets files aren't supported directly.
How large can my PDF be?
PDFs must be 20MB or smaller.
Can Agent use the images inside my PDF?
Agent reads a PDF's content but can't extract images from the file to use as generation assets. If you want Agent to work from specific imagery in a brief or style guide, upload those images separately alongside the PDF.
