Your Library holds your own images and videos. Upload them once, keep them in folders, and use them in any post.

In this article, you'll learn:
📤 How to upload files to your Library
To upload files:
Go to Content and click Library in the left menu
Click "+ Upload content" under your folders, then choose the images or videos on your computer (you can pick several at once)
Choose where to save them: "New folder" (type a folder name) or "Existing folder" (click one or more of your folders)
Click "Create new folder" or "Save"
You'll see "Your files are uploading!", then a message as each file finishes.
When you create a new folder, you can also pick its color, its "Cover image", and who can see it under "Accessibility": "Private (me only)" or "Public (available to team members)".
You can upload:
Images — JPG, PNG and GIF, up to 10 MB each (GIFs up to 8 MB)
Videos — MP4, MOV and other common video formats, up to 200 MB each
TIP: Made an image in Studio? Click "Save to Library" to save it straight to a folder.
NOTE: Files you upload in the Composer aren't saved to your Library. To reuse a file in other posts, upload it to your Library first.
📁 How to organize your folders and files
Edit, rename or delete a folder
In the Library menu, hover a folder and click the pencil. In "Edit Folder", you can:
Rename the folder
Change its color, cover image or who can see it
Add files to it ("+ Add more files")
Remove files from it
Click "Update folder" to save your changes. To delete the folder, click "Delete folder".
To change the order of your folders, drag them up or down in the Library menu.
Sort, select and delete files
Click a folder in the Library menu (or "see all" next to it) to open it. You can sort its files by "Date added" or "Name".
To work with several files at once, tick their checkboxes and click "Bulk actions":
"Select all" (or "Deselect all")
"Download links of selected" — a CSV file with each file's link
"Delete selected files"
To delete one file, click the ⋮ menu on it and choose "Delete".
IMPORTANT: if a file is used in your planned posts, deleting it makes those posts fail, and posts in your History lose the image or video. Remove it from your planned posts first.
TIP: Need links to all your files? Click "Export links to CSV" in the Library menu.
✏️ How to use Library media in your posts
From your Library
Hover a file and click "Create post" to open it in the Composer. On images, the ⋮ menu also has "Edit image" (edit it in the image editor first) and "Copy link".
From the Composer
In Step 2 of the Composer, click "Find" and open the "Library" tab. Choose images, videos or GIFs and a folder, then click a file to add it to your post. See Content search in How do I create & schedule posts?
Lots of posts at once
To turn many Library files into posts at once, see How do I schedule posts in bulk?
You can also edit your Library images and videos in Studio: choose "Library Images" or "Library Videos" as the source.
💾 How much you can store
How much you can store in your Library depends on your plan. See What are the differences between plans?
The Library menu shows how much you've used, under your folders (for example, "11.5 MB used"). When your storage is full, Post Planner asks you to upgrade. To free up space, delete files you don't need (check that they aren't in your planned posts first).
