Every image you upload (a hero photo, a series cover, an event picture) lands in the Media Library and can be used again from there. Open Media in the app and click Upload Image; anywhere in the app that asks for a picture also lets you pick from the library, upload a new one, or choose from a set of stock photos.
Images can be JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG or AVIF, up to 5 MB each. A usage bar shows how much of your church's storage is used (500 MB on the free plan). On a phone, the upload button opens your phone's own photo picker, so you can choose a photo you have already taken.
Reuse instead of re-upload
The pattern worth building: upload once, then pick from the library everywhere else.
Churches that skip this end up with the same building photo uploaded eleven times under eleven names, and when the building gets a new sign there is no way to find them all.
Folders
Files can be organised into folders from the folder list beside the images (New folder, then assign a file to it). Do this early: Events, Series, Staff, Building is enough structure for most churches, and retrofitting folders onto four hundred files is nobody's afternoon.
Alt text
Every file can carry alt text: one short sentence describing what the image shows.
It is read aloud to anyone using a screen reader, and shown if the image fails to load. It also happens to help search engines understand your page, but that is the least important reason.
"Church building" is not alt text. "The front entrance of St Mary's on a summer morning" is. Ten seconds per image, and it is the single easiest accessibility thing a church can do.
What to upload
Resize before uploading. A photo straight off a phone is often several megabytes, and a page with six of them is slow on the church car park's mobile signal, which is exactly where a visitor is looking at it.
Something around 2000 pixels wide is plenty for a full-width image. Most photo apps can do this; so can any free online resizer.
Name the file something. IMG_4471.jpg tells you nothing in six months.
easter-2026-sanctuary.jpg tells you everything.
Before you delete
A file can be used in more than one place. Deleting it removes the file permanently, and any page still using it shows a broken image, so a photo deleted because it looked unused on the homepage can quietly break three event pages too.
If you are unsure, leave it. Storage is not your constraint; time spent re-finding a photo is.
