This guide concerns Site Creator, Infomaniak's website creation tool, which offers a library for your media (images, videos, documents, etc.).

Prerequisites

• Access Site Creator:
  • Click here to access the management of your product on the Infomaniak Manager (need help?).
  • Click directly on the name assigned to the Site Creator in question.
  • Click on the Edit my site button to start the editor:
    

Accessing files

The library is accessible from the bottom of the left-hand side menu, under Files:

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

Organize your files, folders, and subfolders

Please note that 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 Upload 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 video formats (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 when imported. You can also compress the image itself using the Compress an image option from the library to improve your site's loading speed:

⚠ The Compress an image option generates the TinyPNG API key error (TinyPNG API key is not set)…

To avoid this, obtain a TinyPNG API key on their website and enter it under Applications > TinyPNG in SiteCreator:

Please note that large images are automatically resized by default when imported. You can manage this in the general settings:

Open the image editor

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

When you save your changes, the image will be saved as a copy in your library:

Search for and use royalty-free images

In the left sidebar of the library, you will find a menu item that leads to a stock image library (image bank) of royalty-free images that you can insert into your library to enhance your site:

Protect your content: disable right-click

Click on Settings in the left sidebar, then on General Settings. At the bottom, you will find an option that, when enabled, disables right-click for visitors on your site:

Troubleshoot media upload issues

Try uploading JPG or PNG files that are as lightweight as possible; it is not necessary to upload images with a width greater than 1000-2000 pixels to the server.

Make sure that your files are not in "300DPI" or higher resolution; you do not need this for your website, as 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.
