# Upload File

> This operation lets you upload your binary file, base64 data, or generated PDF to PDF.co and receive a URL in return. You can then use this URL with other PDF.co operations for further processing.

<Note>
  The Upload File operation acts as a bridge between the binary files or base64 data from the previous node and the PDF.co node, enabling smooth integration in automated workflows.
