This guide concerns Site Creator, an Infomaniak tool for website creation offering, among other things, a library for your media (images, videos, documents, etc.).

Prerequisites

• Access Site Creator:
  1. Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  2. Click directly on the name assigned to the relevant product.
  3. Click on Customize my site:
     

Access files

The library is accessible from the bottom of the left sidebar, under Files:

These media will be available when you edit your pages and want to insert content. 

Organize your files, folders, and subfolders

Warning, you cannot:

• move files/folders
• rename files/folders
• delete a folder if it is not completely empty

Create a new folder

Use the action menu ⋮ at the bottom right of the window:

Upload a new file to the library

Click on Send a file to browse your hard drive and upload the desired files:

Common image formats are supported (webp, jpg, jpeg, png, gif, svg, etc.), as are videos (mp4, mov, etc.). You can also upload files (zip, pdf, etc.) to make them available to visitors via the File Download module.

Compress an image

Images larger than 1200 px are automatically reduced to 1200 px upon import. However, you can also compress the image itself using the Compress an image option from the library to increase the display speed of your site.

⚠ The Compress an image option generates the TinyPNG API key error:

To avoid this, obtain an API key from TinyPNG's site and enter it under Applications > TinyPNG in SiteCreator:

Open the image editor

Hover over an image in the library and click on the action menu ⋮ to access the image editor:

Search for and use free images

In the left sidebar of the library, there is a menu item leading to a stock image (image bank) that is royalty-free and that you can insert into your library to enhance your site:

Protect your content

Click on Settings in the left sidebar, then on General Settings:

Disable right-click

At the bottom, there is an option that, once activated, disables right-clicking for visitors on your site.

Solving a media upload issue

Try to upload the lightest JPG or PNG possible; it is not necessary to send images wider than 1000-2000 pixels to the server.

Make sure your files are not in "300DPI" or higher resolution, you do not need it on your website, it is only for printing.

If you are trying to upload files directly from your camera, try resizing them before uploading; from your iPhone, the image may be in HEIF/HEIC format, which is not supported - try converting it to JPG first.
