Add images to Image library

When you host multiple sites, you can add images for individual sites. To do this, log in to the site and add the image. For more information, see Go to Site.

1. From Site explorer, click Image library. Image library appears.
2. Click Add images. The Add images screen appears.
3. Click Add images. A select files screen appears.
4. Select images from your hard drive or computer network and click Open. Thumbnails for the images appear under Select images for upload.

Tip: Images must be *.bmp, *.gif, *.ico, *.jpeg, *.jpg, or *.png files. In addition, each file must meet the size limit for images. The web.config file limits images to 4 megabytes, but administrators can further restrict the maximum size on the Settings tab in Sites & settings.

5. To add more images, click Add images again. You can upload images from multiple locations. If you add an image by mistake, you click Delete on the thumbnail to remove it.
6. In the Select folder field, select a folder to store the images.
7. To approve the images for your website, select Approve all images under Image options.

Note: If you select Require approval for all images uploaded by users on the Settings tab in Sites & settings, you must approve images that website users upload before they can post them on your website. If users post images that are not approved, they can see their images, but all other users see “Photo Not Available” graphics.

8. Click Save & continue. Additional options appear for the images.
9. In the URL path field, edit the end of the URL for the web page that stores the image. By default, the URL includes the image's folder, name, and extension after your domain.
If you edit the image name, both the URL and the image name are updated.
If you edit the folder, only the URL is updated. The folder where you store the image remains the same.
You cannot edit the file extension.
10. In the Alt text field, enter text to appear in place of an image if it cannot display for some reason.
11. To associate tags with images, click Edit Tags or Add tags to all.Tags are keywords or phrases that identify an image’s content, and you can use them to search for images on the Search tab in Image library. On the Add selected tags screen, you can create tags or use existing tags. For more information about tags, see Tags Tab.
12. Click Save. You return to Image library.
