Wix Media: About the Media Manager

The Media Manager contains all the media files on your site such as images, videos, audio, docs and vector art. It also contains libraries of free Wix media, Unsplash and Shutterstock media.

Each site in your account has its own Media Manager. This helps you and your site collaborators work more efficiently as everybody who is working on the site has access to all the relevant media files.

Accessing the Media Manager

There are several ways to access the Media Manager; almost every time you work with media files on your website, you are directed to it. For example, the Media Manager opens when you are adding an image, creating an email marketing campaign, or adding a product to your store.
