# Public Assets
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
See the [public assets concepts](../concepts/concepts.md#public-assets) for details.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Because an API may need to serve static assets, every new Strapi project includes by default, a folder named `/public`. Any file located in this directory is accessible if the request's path doesn't match any other defined route and if it matches a public file name.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Example
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
An image named `company-logo.png` in `./public/` is accessible through `/company-logo.png` URL.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
::: note
 | 
						|
`index.html` files are served if the request corresponds to a folder name (`/pictures` url will try to serve `public/pictures/index.html` file).
 | 
						|
:::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
::: warning
 | 
						|
The dotfiles are not exposed. It means that every files with the names start by `.` such as `.htaccess` or `.gitignore` are not served.
 | 
						|
:::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Refer to the [public assets configurations](../configurations/configurations.md#Application) for more informations.
