Media Library

The media library is where all your image files (jpg, png, mp4,...) are shown in a single place.
The media library offers a shared library and a local (only the current project) library.
This article will explain how to navigate the media library and some of its other options like WebP conversions.
Where to find the media library
You can find the media library in the panel on the left, in the middle tab.
The media library offers you a view on all the media files used in your project. The file formats are all the Readz supported file formats: png, jpg, svg, WebP, MP4. Streamed video links are not shown in the media library.

When you hover over an image or select it, additional information about the image will show:
- the media file name
- its size
- the resolution (for images)
Alternatively, you also have the option to display your images in a list format. You can do this by clicking the list icon:
Adding images
There are several ways you can add images to the media library (and to the canvas).
- Using the + (add) button on the bottom of the media library
- By dragging an image from your desktop into the canvas. Once loaded, the image will show on your canvas and automatically be part of the media library
- By dragging an image from your desktop into the media library. After loading, the image will be available in the media library.
Deleting images
To delete images, select the image(s) you want to delete and click the trash can in the bottom panel.

Note that when an image is in use in a layout, you will not be allowed to delete it.
To delete ALL unused images from your project in one go, select the more (...) menu at the bottom and click 'Remove unused images'.
Local (project) library and shared library
Current project: The media library offers you a view on all the images attached to your current project. This includes used and unused images.
Shared: The media library also contains a library that is shared across your account. Images in the shared library can be accessed from any project within your account. That includes projects on different URL's in case you have multiple URL's connected to your account.
To access the shared library, just click the Shared tab on the top. The shared library will open. You can add any image from the shared library to your project by dragging it onto the canvas or by selecting it when you are replacing an image.
To add an image to the shared library:
- the image must first be in the current project library.
- select the image in the library and right-click.
- an option to add the image to the shared library will appear
OR:
- select the image in the library - open the more (...) menu in the bottom panel and select
Search
You can search the Media Library for image file names or file types.
Sorting your images
You can sort your images:
- newest first
-oldest first
- alphabetically (a/z)
- alphabetically (z/a)
- by file type (png, jpg, webp, mp4,...)
- by file size

The latter will allow you to identify fast which are the biggest images in your project
Converting to WebP image format
We support and promote the WebP format, which offers a superior quality with lower file sizes. To convert your image to WebP, you can either:

- select the image in the library and right-click - an option to convert the image to WebP will appear OR: - select the image in the library - open the more (...) menu in the bottom panel and select 'Convert to WebP'
