Import and Add Content to the Media Manager

The Media Manager allows you to import and add all content types (images, videos, audio, and files) from one place. Content can be imported from your computer, Facebook, Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Photos, or Instagram (images can also be imported from a site or via a web search). Once imported, you can add any variety of content types to folders and then access the content in various site widgets. This is helpful when you want to work page-by-page and have one folder per page.

Add Premium images to your site through our Shutterstock integration. You can try out a Premium image before purchase; these images display on your site with watermarks. You can proceed with the purchase at any time from the Image tab in the Media Manager or the Image Picker.

  • Image purchases are single-site licenses, meaning you will you not be able to transfer premium images from one site to another. For the same reason, premium images cannot be downloaded from the editor. To learn more, please view our article on image licenses.
  • Although you can deselect a Premium image from displaying in a widget or element, it is not possible to delete a purchased Premium image.
  • Please note that client accounts are not able to purchase premium images. Regarding team members, admins will automatically be permitted to purchase premium images. For any other team groups, you will need to add the permission manually.

FAQs and Troubleshooting

I received the error "Name already in use" but I have no files with the name

File names can remain cached for a while. If a file with the same name was recently deleted, it is likely still cached, and you will need to use a different name.

 

Why is the content of my uploaded file incorrect?

A file with the same name may have recently been deleted. File names can remain cached for a while. The file would need to be renamed.

To rename a file, open the Media Manager, select the file, and click Rename. If using a library or picker, toggle on the Manage option for the library or picker.

 

Additional characters are being added to the file name

This is likely due to an existing file with the same name or a recently deleted one. File names can remain cached for a while, so renaming the file may be the best option if you encounter this issue.

To rename a file, open the Media Manager, select the file, and click Rename. If using a library or picker, toggle on the Manage option for the library or picker.

 

An image is failing to upload

There could be a few reasons that would cause a file to fail.

A recommended first step in troubleshooting is testing to see if you're able to upload other images.

If you can, this typically indicates the error is related to the file itself or the file size is too large (files can be a maximum of 200MB).

 

Tip

Several potential causes could prevent files from being uploaded, with a common one being that the file is locked. In such cases, the previous owner of the file needs to unlock it and may need to provide a new version.

If you aren't able to, it could be related to:

  • The maximum file limit has been reached (up to 15,000 images, audio clips, and files can be uploaded per site).
  • The browser or device you're using. In this case, clearing cache, trying a different browser or device, or restarting your device might fix it.
