Upload media from your phone
- On your computer, open a Descript project or create a new one.
- In the script panel, click Upload from Mobile.
- Scan the QR code with your phone’s camera. You’ll be taken to web.descript.com in your mobile browser.
- If you’re not already signed in, log into your Descript account.
- Once signed in, you’ll land on the project screen. Select a file to upload.
- Tap Upload, then choose your file(s).
- The files will upload directly into your project’s Files panel.
What next?
Uploaded files appear in your project’s Files section. From there, you can use them like any other file:
- Need to edit by text? Add the file to the script and transcribe it.
- Using it as b-roll or background audio? Add it to the scene editor as a layer. Learn more about working with layers.
Limitations
- Upload from mobile is upload-only — editing on mobile or tablets isn’t supported.
- Uploads are limited to 250 MB per file.
- For best results, use a supported desktop device. See Descript's system requirements.
