# Images

Many models support processing **image inputs**. This lets you combine text and images for richer, multimodal interactions. To get a full list of models, visit [cortecs.ai](https://cortecs.ai/serverlessModels) and filter by the **Image** tag.

**Code Samples:**

* **Using Image URLs:**

You can send images directly by referencing a public image URL.

* **Using Base64 Encoded Images:**

For local or private images that are not publicly accessible, you can embed the image using Base64 encoding.
