GitHub Copilot Vision hits GA for all plans

GitHub (July 1, 2026) moved Copilot Vision to general availability: users can attach images and PDFs directly to chat prompts so Copilot can reason about what it sees alongside code.

Key points

• Supported formats: JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP (images) and PDF (documents).
• Works across three surfaces: Copilot Chat in VS Code (paste, drag-and-drop, or right-click to attach; works in ask, plan and agent modes), Copilot Chat on github.com, and Copilot CLI (pass image paths in the terminal).
• Available on all plans: Free, Pro, Pro+, Business, Enterprise — on by default, no admin policy changes needed. Previously Business/Enterprise required the "Editor Preview Features" policy.
• Data note: for Copilot Business/Enterprise, GitHub retains attachments for ~24 hours to provide the service.

Practical use cases: paste a broken-UI screenshot to debug, hand over a design mockup to generate components, or attach a PDF spec for Copilot to cross-check while coding — no more describing visuals in words.
