# Create your first project

Learn how to upload your first drawing to the software

# **What is a ‘Project’ in Kreo?**

A **project** in Kreo is the main working unit, corresponding to the real project you're working on. It can consist of a single file or a large number of files, depending on the size and complexity of your actual project.

You can create an unlimited number of projects and work on several simultaneously.  
​

# **How to create a project**

Since the first steps in a new app can be a bit overwhelming, we highly recommend watching the [introductory video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtprjgVqY2E&t=722s) we created. It provides information on creating your first project, navigating the app, and much more helpful content.  
​

1\. After you register, you will land on the Projects page. Here, you can create your first and further projects. Click on the ‘**+**’ button next to Projects or on ‘**Create**’ in the middle of the page.

2\. In the opened menu, click the ‘Upload’ button to upload the files.

Kreo allows you to upload **PDF, DWG, DXF, DWF, DGN, PNG, TIFF, JPG, JPEG, BMP, EMF, GIF** files.

3\. Once your files are uploaded, you'll need to enter your project **name** and, if you wish, [**share**](https://help-takeoff.kreo.net/en/articles/5487526-share-your-projects.md) it with your colleagues or the entire company.

**Folders for projects**

In Kreo, you can also **group your projects** into relevant folders, either during their creation or afterward. This is easily accomplished using the project-level folder feature.

Folders are created on the same page - The Projects page.  
​

1\. Click on the ‘**+**’ button near Folders.
