## Plugin Upload

You can upload directly to FeatPaper from external tools. When viewing an empty folder's upload area, icons for the Figma, Adobe Express, and PowerPoint plugins are shown at the bottom — clicking one takes you directly to that plugin's installation page.

The maximum file size for uploads varies by subscription plan.
