Local Files → Hosted URL

Picsart's MCP tools take URLs, not local paths. This skill is the bridge: it turns a file the user named on their own machine into a hosted URL you can hand to any Picsart MCP tool. It is not a Drive browser and not a directory scanner — it moves exactly the file the user pointed at.

When to Use

See the description above.

Concretely, reach for this when both hold:

• The user named a specific local file (~/photos/hero.jpg, ./renders/clip.mp4, a path they pasted).
• The Picsart tool you want to call next needs a URL (image_url, video_url, startFrame, image, …).

Do not use this skill to discover what files the user has — see Pitfalls. And skip it entirely before a gen-ai CLI generation: pass the local path to -i and the CLI uploads it for you (see Procedure, step 1).
