Opening the media library

The media library is no longer only available as a modal in the builder — it now has its own dedicated page. You can access the media library through the navigation menu. From there, you'll see all your uploaded images in an overview.

Uploading images

You can upload multiple images at once:

  1. Open the media library.
  2. Select the files you want to upload (up to 25 at a time).
  3. The upload processes a maximum of 3 files in parallel. You'll see the progress and any error messages per file.
  4. When done, the modal stays open with the last uploaded image selected.

Supported file formats:

  • AVIF (8-bit) is automatically converted to JPEG or PNG.
  • WebP is also converted to JPEG or PNG.
  • 10-bit or HDR AVIF is not accepted; you'll get a clear error message.
  • If a file is too large, you'll receive an error message.

Setting alt text, tags, and a focal point

You can set three properties per image:

  • Alt text: a text description of the image, important for accessibility and email clients that block images.
  • Tags: labels you can use to organize and find your images.
  • Focal point: indicate which part of the image is most important, so cropping always happens in the right spot.

Select an image in the media library to edit these settings.

Using the media library in the builder

When you insert an image or choose a logo for the brand profile in the email builder, you can select images from the media library. The logo in the brand profile can only be chosen from your own media library.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, 8-bit AVIF files are accepted and automatically converted to JPEG or PNG. 10-bit or HDR AVIF is not supported; you'll get an error message in that case.

The focal point lets you indicate which part of the image is most important. When an image is cropped, that part will stay visible.
