# [DEPRECATED] Create File

> Create a new file in Extend for use in an evaluation set.

**Deprecation Notice**: This endpoint is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use the [`/upload` endpoint](/api-reference/endpoint/upload_file) instead.

Creating a new File is a prerequisite for using that file with the evaluation sets API.

This endpoint will pre-process the contents of the file, and store it in the Extend platform for use in evaluation sets. For files that require pre-processing (e.g. pdfs, images, etc.) this endpoint can take up to 30 seconds to complete.

Supported file types can be found [here](/api-reference/supported_file_types).
