<Stack gap="large">
  <Field label="Upload image" description="Accepts common image file formats">
    <Dropzone accept={['image/jpeg', 'image/png']} />

Show Image Thumbnails

By default, once a file as been added to the Dropzone, a document icon will displayed next to the file name in the list below. If you have uploaded an image, you can use the showImageThumbnails to show an image preview instead.

<Field label="Upload image" description="Drop an image here to see a preview">

</Field>
