Media library
Every picture and PDF your site uses, in one place: upload once, use anywhere.
Uploading#
- Open Media and press Upload — or drag files from your computer onto the page.
- Pictures can be JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF or AVIF, up to 15 MB each. PDFs can be up to 100 MB.
Pictures are resized and converted to a lighter format automatically, so a phone photo loads quickly on a reader's phone. The location hidden in a photo's data is removed before it's stored.
Finding a file#
Search by file name, alt text or caption, and use All files, Images or PDFs to narrow the list.
Alt text, caption and credit#
Click a file to open its details:
- Alt text describes the picture for readers who can't see it, and for search engines. Write it in each of your languages.
- Default caption is filled in whenever the picture is added to a story; you can still change it there.
- Credit names the photographer or agency — *PTI*, *Reuters*, *Staff*.
- Copy link copies the file's address; Open opens it in a new tab.
Press Save to keep your changes.
Deleting#
Select a file, press Delete, then Really delete?. A file that's still in use — as a story's cover, a logo, a byline photo — can't be deleted until you remove it there; the message says where.
Storage#
Each plan includes 5, 15 or 25 GB (Starter, Growth, Pro). Home shows how much you've used under Media storage.
