Home WordPress essentials Add Media
Add Media
Adding media means uploading images, documents or other files to WordPress so you can use them on your pages. You can upload straight into the Media Library or from inside a block while you edit.
Videos not enabled.
Large files slow your site down and use up storage, so resize photos before you upload them where you can. Your hosting also sets a maximum upload size. A long video is usually better on YouTube or Vimeo and embedded on the page.
Before you finish
- Add alt text to each image as you upload it, while you still remember what it shows.
