What can I save in Hive?

Why more than images

A project rarely runs on pictures alone. An interior project might have photos of a material, the supplier's product page, a PDF spec sheet, a short video of light moving across a room, and a few lines of your own notes. If each of those lives in a different app, you spend time collecting them again every time you need them.

In Hive they sit in the same folder, carry the same tags, and turn up in the same search.

The kinds of files

Here's what you can keep in a library today.

• Images, including HEIC, WebP, AVIF, SVG, JPEG XL, RAW (.dng), animated GIF and WebP, and Live Photos.
• Video and audio, such as MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, MP3, and FLAC.
• Documents: PDFs, HTML files, and text documents you write inside Hive, with Markdown formatting.
• Links and bookmarks, saved with the page they point to.
• Design files: PSD and Procreate files.
• 3D models, which you can preview in AR.

What stays with each item

Whatever you save, Hive keeps the same set of information with it: the source link if it came from the web, your note, its tags, its folder, a star rating, and any comments. When you open the item months later, all of that is still on it.

Where you can save from

On iPhone and iPad, you can save from the share sheet in apps like Safari, Instagram, Pinterest, and Xiaohongshu, from the Safari extension, from Photos and Files, and by pasting links into Import Center. On the Mac, you can drag files into Hive or use the Safari and Chrome extensions.
