The Media Library in the Merchant Hub is where you upload and manage your images, such as product photos. Upload images, add alt text for accessibility, copy an image's URL, search or filter the library, and delete images you no longer need.

## Key takeaways

- The Media Library is where you upload and manage images, such as product photos.
- Upload images by dragging them into the upload zone or choosing files.
- Add alt text to each image to describe it for accessibility.
- Copy an image's URL, and search or filter the library to find images.
- Select images for bulk actions, and delete images you no longer need.

## What the Media Library is

You use the **Media Library** to upload and manage your images in one place — most often **product photos**. From here you can organize images, reuse them across products, and keep your library tidy.

## How to use it

1. In the Merchant Hub, open the **Media Library**.
2. **Upload images** — drag them into the upload zone, or choose files.
3. **Add alt text** — describe each image for accessibility. Good alt text also helps you find images later.
4. **Use an image** — select it to see its details, and use **Copy URL** to copy a direct link, or add the image to a product.
5. **Manage your library** — **search** or **filter** to find images, **select** images for bulk actions, and **delete** the ones you no longer need.

## Tips

- **Alt text matters** — it describes the image for screen readers and improves accessibility. Add a short, clear description of what's in the image.
- **Reuse images** — once an image is in the library, you can use it across products without re-uploading.
- **Keep it tidy** — clear out unused or duplicate images so the library stays easy to search.
- **Use clear file names** — recognisable names make images easier to find when your library grows.
