Media library
One library for your
images and files.
Upload images, fonts and files once, describe them for accessibility and choose them from any Page, CMS entry or Theme.
Start a WebsiteSVG placeholders with sample filenames and descriptions. No files are uploaded or changed.
What your Media library holds
One file. Several places.
Choose the file from any Page, CMS Entry or Theme. Each Website has its own library; files aren’t shared between Websites. Free includes 50 MB of storage and Starter includes 1 GB.
From upload to use on your Website.
The library stores the file. Its description, who can see it and how it’s shown are set in different places.
Upload it to this Website
Choose the file and wait for the upload to finish. Media checks your plan limits and tells you if an upload fails. Make sure the file shows up in the library before you use it.
Find and organize it
Search by filename, browse the library and move files into folders. Select a file to see its type, size, who can see it and other details. A clear filename makes it easier to find later.
Choose it from the destination
Open an image on your Page, a CMS Media field or a Theme setting that takes a file, then pick it. The file isn’t copied; that spot uses the one in your library.
| Your task | Where to do it | What to review |
|---|---|---|
| Describe the image | Media description and caption | Check the alt text on the Page. An image on a Page can have its own. |
| Change who can see it | Media visibility | Make sure the right people can open the file where it’s used. |
| Crop it in a layout | Page image fit and focal point | Review the image at wide and narrow widths. |
| Change the source file | Replace file in Media | Check where it’s used, including live Pages, before you confirm. |
Different files need different decisions.
Images
Use images on Pages, in galleries or as CMS covers. Add alt text and choose how the image fits its space. A wide cover and a small thumbnail can use the same file with different settings.
Video
Free and Starter don’t include video hosting, so use a video URL hosted elsewhere. Add the link to a video element and set mute, loop and autoplay. Check playback on the real Page and on a phone, not just in the library preview.
Fonts
Pick a font from your Media library in the Theme’s typography settings. Keep its family, weight and style together. Check it on a real Page, and make sure its license allows use on a website.
Existing Media URLReplacement fileConnected usesReplacing a file is a live change.
The file keeps its place in the library and its web address. The new file shows up everywhere that address is used, including live Pages. There’s no automatic undo, so read the confirmation first. To keep both versions, upload a new file instead.
Afterward, open a Page that uses it and check the new file there. If Paazaa can’t confirm the replacement, use its check option before you try again.
Before deleting a file
Check where the file is used, including Pages, Themes and content. Custom code and outside links may use its address without showing up in that list.
