Upload website images
Register the right image, not just a local file selection.
Upload PNG, JPEG, WebP or AVIF up to 10 MiB and verify the registered asset before using it in website content.
Upload a website image
Inspect the registered asset before publishing it.
A completed upload includes a verified catalogue entry.
The media upload workflow adds an image to the website-oriented catalogue. It separates transferring a file from registering the verified asset. The user needs the appropriate media update authority, and storage must be available. A browser file choice alone should not be taken as proof that the asset is registered, ready for use or suitable for public publication.
Prepare an allowed image within the size limit.
The supported types are PNG, JPEG, WebP and AVIF. The limit is 10 MiB per media asset, and SVG is excluded. Export suitable website material from your production tool before uploading. Changing a filename's extension does not turn unsupported content into an allowed image, and the upload is not a specialist image-editing or optimization service.
- Four supported raster formats and a 10 MiB limit
Wait for registration and inspect the result.
The upload is verified and registered with file metadata rather than accepted merely because the browser submitted a request. Inspect the visible asset, its name, type, size and available dimensions. If storage or verification fails, do not assume a usable catalogue entry exists. Resolve the actual result before repeating the operation or using the file in another workflow.
- Verified registration with recognizable metadata
Describe the asset before public use.
Maintain alternative text up to 300 characters and review whether it describes the relevant information accurately. The media workflow is intended for website images, not confidential business file storage. Rights, consent and the appropriateness of the actual publication remain human decisions. Use Drive when the requirement is a private document and controlled external sharing rather than an image asset.
- Reviewed description and deliberate publication choice

A concrete workflow
Prepare
Export an allowed image within the actual size limit.
Upload
Use the media workflow with appropriate permissions.
Confirm
Inspect the registered catalogue result rather than file selection alone.
Describe and use
Review alternative text, rights and intended public content.
An illustrative working example
Illustrative scenario: adding a service-page image
An editor exports a JPEG for a service page and checks that it fits the media limit. After upload, the editor confirms the catalogue entry and inspects the image and metadata. A colleague reviews the alternative text and source rights before the asset is selected for the page. The pilot includes one unsuitable file so the team understands that a failed registration is not a ready-to-use image.
Questions about this topic
Which files can I upload here?
PNG, JPEG, WebP and AVIF up to 10 MiB. Use a different appropriate workflow for private documents or unsupported formats.
Can I upload SVG logos through Media?
SVG is excluded from this upload path. Do not change the extension to bypass type validation; prepare a supported image when appropriate.
Does upload prove I may publish the image?
No. Verify rights, consent and use restrictions independently. Technical registration is not a licensing or approval decision.
What should I check after an error?
Inspect whether a catalogue entry actually exists and whether storage and verification completed. Do not infer success from a selected filename or submitted form.

Ideas for intended connections. Check the actual availability, permissions and supported data for each app before using a scenario.
Google Drive
Application concept: Check selected Google Drive exports against supported image formats and the ten-MiB upload limit.
Dropbox
Application concept: Plan a reviewed Dropbox delivery selection rather than importing unsupported source artwork as website media.
SharePoint Online (v2)
Application concept: Identify who approves SharePoint image rights before any website upload and final registration.
