Media Library

The Media Library holds every image, PDF, video, and file uploaded to your site.

Media → Add New → drag and drop your files (or click Select Files).

You can also upload directly while editing a page or post: add an Image block → Upload or Media Library.

  • Resize large photos first. Photos straight from a phone or camera are often 4000+ pixels wide. Around 2000 px wide is plenty for a full-width banner and 1200 px for most other images.
  • Use JPG for photos, PNG for logos or graphics that need transparency, and WebP if your site supports it.
  • Name files clearly before uploading, e.g. spring-menu-2026.jpg instead of IMG_4821.jpg.

Click an image in the Media Library and fill in Alternative Text, a short description of what’s in the picture. It helps visitors who use screen readers and helps search engines.

  • Use the search box or the date filter at the top of the Media Library.
  • Click a file to see its details, copy its File URL, or edit its title and alt text.
  • Delete Permanently removes it everywhere it’s used, so make sure it isn’t on a live page first.
