Wix Portfolio: Adding Media to Projects
Create a rich, engaging portfolio that highlights your skills and creativity. Add media to your portfolio projects by importing from the Media Manager, uploading from your computer and apps, embedding URLs, or syncing media from app integrations.
A well-curated portfolio with diverse media types makes a strong impression and sets you apart from others. For example, if you're a graphic designer, you can upload high-quality images of your designs, embed video tutorials, or sync your latest work from Instagram, giving your visitors much to browse.
To add media, make sure you have added and set up your portfolio.
Adding media to your projects
Upload your media to your projects from a variety of sources such as your computer, other wix sites, social networks or by adding / embedding URLs.
Note:
If you connected your project to an app integration (Instagram, DeviantArt, Dribbble) you will not see an option to add media from the Media Manager. Instead, make changes in the relevant app to sync them to your portfolio. Learn more about syncing media from portfolio integrations.

FAQs
Click a question below to learn more about adding media to your portfolio projects.
I have uploaded high-resolution images to my portfolio. Why do low-resolution versions of my images show first?
Currently, while high-resolution images load on your site, low-resolution versions of the images display first.
This is standard behavior across all Wix sites, and a lot of sites on the web. This technology has no effect on the rest of your site's content, including the high-resolution images themselves. It lets your site visitors see more meaningful content faster at no performance cost to you. It is not possible to disable this behavior.
We are always working to update and improve our products, and your feedback is hugely appreciated. If you would like the option to disable the loading of low-resolution versions of your high-resolution images, vote for that feature.
