Add photos to your site

Every photo on your site comes from your media library. Upload a photo once and use it wherever you like.

Upload photos

1. Open Website, then choose Edit beside any page.

2. Choose Media in the rail on the left.

3. Choose Upload photos, or drop photos onto the panel. You can add many at a time.

4. Wait for them to finish. New photos appear under "Being processed" until they are ready, then join your photos.

The media library holds photos. They can be JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF or GIF. If a file isn't one of these, you see "That file isn't a photo we can use."

Describe each photo

When a photo uploads, write what it shows in the Description box. Screen readers read it to people who can't see the photo. The site check flags photos with no description. See Check your site before you publish.

Manage your photos

Choose Manage photos to open Your photos. Here you can name and describe a photo, Replace photo, or Delete photo.

• Replace keeps the photo on every page. Focus points stay where you set them, so check they still fit the new photo.

• A photo that is in use can't be deleted. The message lists where it is used. Take it off those pages first.

• To delete several, select them, then choose Delete photos, and confirm.

Use a photo on a page

Select the block, then in its Content settings choose a photo from Your photos. To take a photo off, choose Remove photo.
