How to save some files when automatically deploying to heroku?

Question

JavaScript

After autocommit on Heroku, all image files that were uploaded to the server disappear. I understand that heroku first cleans everything during a commit, and then deploys it again.
Question: is it possible to somehow exclude the folder with image files so that they remain in their place when committing.
Ps It is not possible to store images in a github repository. The filename is bound to an object in the database. The bases on the local machine and on Heroku are different.
