How do I use the Media Library?

The Media Library is where you can build your own collection of social media images and organize them into different categories. You can upload your own images and videos to your Media Library (such as the social media images you've downloaded from Healthinomics), as well as search free stock photos to use in your social media posts!

Here are some of the highlights of the Media Library:

• The 'Free Social Media Images' folder contains a bunch of free health and wellness social media images by Healthinomics, ready for you to add your logo and share on social!
• Search 800,000+ free stock photos and add them to your social media posts!
• Search the text in your uploaded media (all media that gets uploaded is scanned for text, so you can search your images by the text they contain).
• Drag and drop media files to upload.
• Tag your media and search by tag.
• Move media between folders.
• Bulk tag, bulk move and bulk delete your media files.

How to Upload an Image/Video to Your Media Library

To upload an image or video to your Media Library, follow these steps:

1. In the left sidebar of your SocialOmm account, click Media Library.
2. Select the folder you want to upload to (or add a new folder). Note: You cannot upload media to the 'Free Social Media Images' folder as the images in this folder are provided to you by us:
   
3. Drag and drop your image/video file to upload.
   Tip: To select multiple images, click and hold down your cursor as you drag it across all images. Or, you can click the first image and hold down the Ctrl key as you click other images:
4. Your image/video will start uploading to your Media Library. Depending on the file size or the number of files you're uploading, it may take a few minutes – please do not refresh the page:
5. Once uploaded, your file will appear in the folder you uploaded it to. When you select the image/view, you will be able to view information about it, add tags, or move the file to a different folder. Selecting the Use in post button allows you to create a post from the file.
