Using the Media Library

What the Media Library Is

The Media Library is your central store for images and videos. Upload a file once and reuse it across as many posts as you like — no need to re-upload the same asset every time.

You'll find it in the left sidebar under Media Library (/dashboard/media).

Who Can Access It

Media Library is a Pro feature:

Plan	Storage
Free	Not included
Starter	Not included
Professional	500 MB
Enterprise	1,000 MB

A live progress bar at the top of the page shows how much of your storage you've used. You'll see a warning banner when you reach 80% and an Upgrade prompt at 95%.

Uploading Files

You can upload in two ways:

1. Click "Upload Files" in the top-right of the page and pick one or more files
2. Drag and drop files anywhere onto the media grid

You can select multiple files at once — they'll upload in sequence with a per-file progress bar and an overall progress banner.

Size and format limits

Type	Max size per file
Images	50 MB
Videos	500 MB

Supported formats follow the same rules as the Supported Media Formats article (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP for images; MP4, WebM, MOV for videos). Video thumbnails are generated automatically.

Finding Files

Use the controls above the grid to narrow down what you see:

• Search — match by file name or tag
• All / Images / Videos — filter by type
• Used / Unused — quickly find what's already attached to a post vs. what's sitting unused
• Grid / List — toggle layouts. List view shows file size, dimensions, and upload date inline

The result count below the filters tells you how many files match.

Using Files in a New Post

Single file

Click the three-dot menu on any item (or open the Preview dialog) and choose Use in new post. You'll be taken to the post composer with that file already attached.

Multiple files (carousels)

To send several files into one post:

1. Click each file you want to include — selected files get a blue checkmark
2. Press the Use in new post (N) button that appears in the toolbar
3. The composer opens with all selected files attached in the order you clicked them

This is how you build a carousel from your library. Platform limits (e.g., Instagram allows up to 10 in a carousel) are enforced in the composer, not on the Media Library page.

"Used in posts" Tracking

Every file shows how many posts it's currently used in. You'll see this as a badge on the thumbnail in grid view, and in the metadata row in list view.

When you try to delete a file that's attached to scheduled posts, you'll get a clear warning telling you how many posts will be affected. You can still Delete anyway, but those posts will fail when they go out — so replace the media on those posts first if you want them to publish.

Other Per-File Actions

Hover over a file in grid view (or use the three-dot menu in list view) to:

• Preview — open a full-size viewer with copy URL / download / use-in-post buttons
• Copy URL — copy the direct CDN URL of the file to your clipboard
• Download — save the original file back to your device

Tips

• Tag as you upload isn't supported yet — for now, use descriptive original filenames to make search work better
• Delete unused files if you're close to the storage cap — the Unused filter makes this quick
• Order matters for carousels — multi-select picks files up in the order you click them, so click them in the order you want them to appear in the post
