Media Uploads

When your collection schema includes Image, Video, or File Upload fields, you can upload files directly from the object editor. Just tap the upload button on the media field, select your file, and it's attached to the object.

How It Works

Uploads are handled securely and delivered fast:

  • Fast uploads — files go directly to cloud storage without bottlenecks
  • Fast delivery — your sites load media from the nearest CDN edge location
  • Secure by default — upload links are single-use and expire automatically

Supported Formats

CategoryFormats
ImagesJPG, JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG

VideoMP4, WebM

Image files are served through a CDN for fast, globally distributed delivery to your deployed sites.

Adding Media Fields to Your Schema

To use media in a collection, add a field with the Image, Video, or File Upload type in the schema editor. Each of these creates a single-file upload button on the object editor.

For fields that need multiple files (e.g., a product photo gallery), use the Gallery type. Gallery fields let you upload several images or videos to a single field.

You can have multiple media fields per schema — for example, a "Featured Image" (Image) for the hero and a "Photos" (Gallery) for additional images.

Use descriptive field names for media fields (e.g., "Hero Image", "Thumbnail", "Photo Gallery") so content editors know which file goes where.

Managing Existing Media

To replace an uploaded file, open the object editor, tap the existing media field, and upload a new file. The old file is removed from storage.

To remove media without replacing it, use the remove button on the media field and save the object.

Storage Usage

Your group's total storage usage is displayed on the dashboard. Storage counts toward your tier's total allocation and includes all media files across all collections. If you approach your storage limit, consider upgrading your tier or removing unused media.
