Media Library

The Media Library in Sitepins gives editors an easy way to upload, preview, and organize images and other media files.

All media uploads go directly into the folder you configure as your Media Root, and changes are reflected in your Git repository.

Key Features

• Upload new images and media files via drag-and-drop or file picker
• Organize assets into folders without touching the file system
• Preview images directly in the UI
• Delete unused files from your repo
• Search and filter by file name
• Switch between grid and list views

Using the Media Library

Once your Media Root folder is configured (e.g., public/images), you can:

Upload Files

• Drag and drop images into the browser window
• Or click the upload button to browse for files

Uploaded files will appear instantly in the library and be saved in your Git repo.

Create Folders

• Organize your media by creating folders like blog, products, or team
• Helps keep large libraries manageable

Preview Files

• Click any file to see a quick preview and basic metadata

Search and Filter

• Use the search bar to find files by name
• Sort by newest, oldest, or alphabetically

Delete Files

• Select any file and delete it to remove it from the repository

Danger

Files and folders in the Media Library directly map to your Git repo. Deleting a file here deletes it from the repo.

Best Practices

• Use consistent folder naming to keep your library organized
• Optimize images before uploading to reduce site load times
• Avoid uploading unnecessary assets or large files
