The Media Library, under Manage → Media, is where all your images live in the Merchant Hub — product photos, category images, and logos. Upload once and reuse them across your catalog. Search, filter, and sort to find an image, open its detail panel to edit its alt text or copy its URL, and select several for bulk actions.

## Key takeaways

- The Media Library (Manage → Media) stores your images — product photos, category images, and logos — so you can reuse them across products.
- Upload by dragging images onto the page or using the upload zone — PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF, up to 5 MB each.
- Find images with grid or table view, search (by name, title, or alt text), filters (format, folder, orientation, source), and sorting.
- Open an image's detail panel to set its title, alt text, and description, and to Copy URL, Download, open it, or Delete it.
- Select multiple images for bulk actions, and open any image fullscreen in the lightbox.

## What is the Media Library?

The Media Library is where all your images live in the Merchant Hub — **product photos**, **category images**, and **logos**. Upload an image once and reuse it across your catalog without uploading it again. Open it under **Manage → Media**.

## Uploading images

Drag and drop images **anywhere on the page**, or use the **upload zone**. Supported files are **PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF, up to 5 MB each**. You can expand or collapse the upload zone as you work.

## Finding images

- **Switch views** — toggle between **grid** and **table** views.
- **Search** — by **name, title, or alt text**.
- **Filter** — by **format/type**, **folder**, **orientation** (Landscape, Portrait, or Square), and **source**.
- **Sort** — Newest or Oldest first, Name A–Z / Z–A, Title A–Z / Z–A, or Largest / Smallest first.

## Image details

Select an image to open its **detail panel**, where you can:

- Set its **Title**, **Alt text** (describe the image for accessibility), and **Description**.
- See its **Dimensions**, **Format**, **Size**, **Source**, and **Folder**.
- **Copy URL**, **Download** it, **Open** it in a new tab, or **Delete** it.

Open any image **fullscreen** in the **lightbox**, and page through your images with **Next** and **Previous**.

## Bulk actions

Select several images at once (**Select all** or **Select item**) to act on them together, then **Clear selection** when you're done.
