# How do I control which file types customers can upload?

You can manage the allowed file types directly from the app’s **Rules & Settings** section.

1. Open the app dashboard
2. Go to **Rules & Settings**
3. Enable **Allowed file types**
4. Select the field type and choose the file formats you want to allow

You can allow different file types based on your needs, for example:

* **Images:** JPEG, JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, SVG
* **Videos:** MP4, MOV, AVI, WEBM
* **Documents:** PDF, DOC, DOCX, TXT
* **Audio:** MP3, WAV, OGG
* **Design files:** PSD, AI

If a customer tries to upload a file type that is not allowed, you can display a **custom error message** explaining which formats are supported.<br>
