# Files

> Serve static assets like images, videos, PDFs, and data files from your documentation repository with automatic optimization and CDN delivery.

Mintlify automatically serves static assets from your documentation repository at the appropriate path on your domain. For example, if you have `/images/logo.png` in your repo, the image file is available at `https://docs.your-project.com/images/logo.png`.

You can make any supported file type available to your users, including OpenAPI specifications, images, videos, and more.

Files must be less than 20 MB.

:::callout{intent="note"}
File serving is not supported for documentation sites with authentication enabled. If your site requires authentication, static files are not accessible at their direct URLs.

## File organization

Organize your files using folders to keep your repository easy to navigate:

```text theme={null}
/your-project
  |- docs.json
  |- images/
    |- logo.png
    |- screenshots/
      |- dashboard.png
  |- assets/
    |- whitepaper.pdf
    |- demo-video.mp4
```

Mintlify serves files from the root of your domain, so the structure in your repository directly maps to the URL structure. From the previous example, `assets/whitepaper.pdf` would be available at `https://docs.your-project.com/assets/whitepaper.pdf`.
