# Pipeline artifacts **(FREE)**
|
|
|
|
Pipeline artifacts are files created by GitLab after a pipeline finishes. Pipeline artifacts are
|
|
different to [job artifacts](../jobs/job_artifacts.md) because they are not explicitly managed by
|
|
`.gitlab-ci.yml` definitions.
|
|
|
|
Pipeline artifacts are used by the [test coverage visualization feature](../testing/test_coverage_visualization.md)
|
|
to collect coverage information.
|
|
|
|
## Storage
|
|
|
|
Pipeline artifacts are saved to disk or object storage. They count towards a project's [storage usage quota](../../user/usage_quotas.md#storage-usage-quota).
|
|
The **Artifacts** on the Usage Quotas page is the sum of all job artifacts and pipeline artifacts.
|
|
|
|
## When pipeline artifacts are deleted
|
|
|
|
Pipeline artifacts from:
|
|
|
|
- The latest pipeline are kept forever.
|
|
- Pipelines superseded by a newer pipeline are deleted seven days after their creation date.
|
|
|
|
It can take up to two days for GitLab to delete pipeline artifacts from when they are due to be
|
|
deleted.
