How to Access and Manage the Wix Media Library

The Wix Media Library is your central hub for storing, organizing, and editing all the images, videos, audio files, and documents used across your website.

Whether you need to upload new visuals, clean up unused files, make quick image adjustments, or grab a direct file link, you can handle it all directly from your Wix account.

In the steps below, we’ll walk you through how to access your media library and perform key actions within it.

Accessing the Media Library from Your Wix Dashboard

1. From your Wix Dashboard, visit the search bar and type 'media' and hit 'enter'.

2. From the list of options, click on Media Manager 

3. Click 'Upload Media' to add new files, or select a particular site file, then click the 3 dots to unveil the more actions menu.

      etc.

Managing your Wix Media Library efficiently helps keep your website organized and running smoothly.

As you build out your media collection, keep these final tips in mind:

• Keep Things Organized: Take advantage of custom folders within Site Files to group your assets by page, project, or campaign. A clean library saves you valuable time down the road.

• Mind Your Storage: Keep an eye on your plan's storage limits, especially if you regularly upload high-resolution videos or large documents. Periodically clearing out unused assets helps free up space.

• Let Wix Handle Optimization: Don't stress too much about image formatting—Wix automatically compresses and converts your uploads (into fast-loading formats like WebP) to keep your pages loading quickly for visitors.

With these basics covered, you're ready to easily upload, edit, and manage all your visual content in one place!
