This article walks you through the Media Library: uploading pictures, keeping them tidy, and watching your storage.
Come here when you want to upload a batch before a design session, or to find out what is filling your space.
Before you start
Opening the library needs the View Media Library permission. Uploading needs Upload Media. Making folders, moving files and deleting need Manage Media.
Your plan sets how much space you have. The Storage meter on the page shows it.
Step 1. Open the library
In the side menu, under Design & Appearance, pick Media Library. Your files fill the middle, and the Storage meter and the Upload box sit beside them.
Media Library from the side menu: your files in the middle, the meter and the upload box beside them.
Step 2. Find a file
The bar under the title searches by file name and sorts by Newest first, Oldest first, Name or Largest first. The two buttons beside it switch between the grid and the list.
The bar under the title searches by file name, sorts, and switches between grid and list.
Step 3. Keep folders
Folders runs down the side, starting with All files. The plus makes a New folder, and a folder's own menu offers New sub-folder, Rename and Delete folder. If you see Move or delete the files in this folder first., empty the folder, then delete it.
The AI Generated folder keeps every picture you make with AI, and each of those pictures carries an AI Generated badge on its tile.
Folders run down the side, starting with All files; the plus makes a new one.
Step 4. Upload
Drop files on the Upload box or click it to choose them: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each. Drop files straight onto a folder to upload them into it.
If a picture looks like one you already have, you see You already have a photo like this. Press Use existing to use the one you own, or Upload anyway.
Drop files on the upload box or click it to choose them: JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB each.
Step 5. Work on several at once
Select files and a bar takes the toolbar's place: Select all, Move to folder…, Details, Delete and Clear. Files that are in use on your store are kept when you delete, and the library lists them for you.
Select files and this bar takes the toolbar's place: select all, move to a folder, or delete.
Step 6. Open one file
Double click a file for its details: Type, Size, Dimensions, Uploaded, Status, Folder, and Where it is used on your shop. If you see This file is still in use, remove it from the places listed first, then delete it.
Double click a file for its type, size, dimensions, folder and every place on your shop that uses it.
Step 7. Watch the meter
Storage shows what you have used against your space. The bar turns amber when it is nearly full and red when it is full. The line under the bar shows your Plan allowance, so you never have to remember which plan you are on.
If you see You are over your storage allowance, uploads are paused until you free up space. Nothing you already have is deleted. Delete files you no longer use to make room.
Storage shows what you have used against your plan's allowance.
Result
Your pictures live in folders that make sense to you, you can find any of them in seconds while designing, and you always know how much room is left.
