Access files

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

These media will be at your disposal when you edit your pages and wish to insert content. 

Organize your files, folders and subfolders

Be careful you cannot:

Create a new folder

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

 

Load a new file in the library

Click on Send File to browse your hard drive and load the desired files:

 

The usual image formats are supported (webp, jpg, jpeg, png, gif, svg, etc.), idem for videos (mp4, mov, etc.) and you can also load files (zip, pdf, etc.) for e.g. making them available to visitors by the module File download.

Compress Image

The images that make more than 1200 px are automatically reduced to 1200 px on importation. But you can also compress the image itself with the option Compress Image from the library, in order to gain speed of display of your site.

⚠The option Compress Image generates the error of TinyPNG API key:

Prohibit right-clicking

Solving a Media Sending Problem

Try to upload JPG or PNG as light as possible; images with a width greater than 1000-2000 pixels need not be sent to the server.

Make sure your files are not in "300DPI" resolution or higher, you don't need them on your website, it's only for printing.

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