Files: upload images, videos, and PDFs

Host reusable media in your store and use it in content.

Before you start

Prepare optimized files you own or are licensed to publish.

On a phone? Open the admin menu to find the same section. Screenshots below show the desktop view; tap “Open full size” for a closer look.
STEP 1

Open the file library

Go to Content → Files → Upload files. Choose a supported image, video, or PDF.

  • Videos use supported MP4 or WebM formats.
  • Follow the type and size limits displayed by the uploader.

STEP 2

Check the upload

Wait for the upload to finish, then locate the file in the library.

  • Use meaningful filenames so your team can find assets later.
STEP 3

Use the hosted file

Use its hosted address or the media picker provided by the page or theme editor.

  • Use store-hosted media instead of hotlinking another website.
  • Provide descriptive alternative text wherever the editor supports it.
STEP 4

Verify before removing

Preview the content that uses the file. Before deleting a file, check whether pages, products, or theme sections still reference it.

  • Deleting a shared file can break more than one page.

CHECK YOUR WORK

You’re ready when…

  • The uploaded file opens successfully.
  • The page using it loads correctly on mobile.

IF SOMETHING DOESN’T LOOK RIGHT

Troubleshooting

Why was a file rejected?

Check its true file type and size against the uploader’s message. Export to a supported format or reduce its size, then upload again.

Why is a control missing or unavailable?

Confirm that you are in the correct store and that your role allows this action. Optional apps and channels may require installation, a plan, or activation. Share the screen name and error with support if access is still unclear.
