Media picker ​

Media picker lets you choose or add pictures and videos where you need to. You will find it in multiple places across your dashboard — choosing a product's photos, a category's banner, or a collection's banner. You might have to interact with it frequently, so it is worth having a proper understanding of it.

The Select file dialog, with a search box, File type and File size filters, an Add media
button, and a grid of existing pictures each with a
checkbox.

Searching ​

Type in the search box to find a file. You can also filter the files based on:

  • File type — Images or Videos
  • File size — Under 1MB, 1-10MB, or Over 10MB

Selecting ​

The picker's behaviour changes a little depending on where you interact with it.

  • In some places it lets you pick multiple media files — a product's photo gallery, for example.
  • In other places it only lets you pick a single media file, and selecting one replaces whichever was selected before it.

Press Done to confirm your choice. Cancel, or the × button at the top corner of the window, discards the changes and closes it instead.

Adding something new ​

Media picker also lets you add new media files. Press Add media, which gives you two options to add a media file:

  • Upload files — choose one or more files from your device. You can also drag files from your device onto the window to upload them.
  • Add from URL — paste a media file's link to add it. This works for a direct picture link, or a YouTube or Vimeo video link.

The Add media from URL dialog, with a field for a web address and Cancel and Add file
buttons.
