Wix Media: Supported Media File Types and File Sizes


Wix allows you to upload a wide range of media file types directly to your site, like images, video, audio, icons, vector art (SVG) and more.


Note:


We are always working to improve and expand the supported file types and sizes we offer. If you would like to upload other file types and larger file sizes, you can use the Wix File Share app. With the File Share app, you can upload files directly onto your site to share with your visitors. Read the app's file guidelines. There are also several other apps that you can try in the Wix App Market.

FAQs


Here are some common questions about supported media file types and sizes:


If you're having trouble uploading a supported media file, follow the troubleshooting steps in this article.


Fonts uploaded to the Media Manager are not accessible in your editor. If you want to use your own font, you must upload it to your editor directly and not the Media Manager.


When images are uploaded to Wix, they are all transformed to sRGB color-space, so that they will look the same in all browsers.

This conversion between color spaces can cause visual differences when the file is viewed from your device vs. when it's viewed on the live site. sRGB is used across the web, so this conversion is necessary for your images to display correctly across different displays and browsers. To avoid this issue, please make sure the color space for all images is sRGB.


Keep in mind when uploading media files that your site is subject to a storage limit. These limits can always be increased by upgrading your site.


When choosing an image format, it's important to consider the type of image you have and how you plan to use it. While there are many formats available, here are three commonly used ones:

  • GIF is good for saving images with flat blocks of color such as logos or simple illustrations.

  • JPEG is used to display photographs and other continuous-tone images, supporting CMYK, RGB and Grayscale color modes.

  • PNG format supports RGB, Indexed Color, Grayscale, and Bitmap mode images, and preserves transparency.


You can cut out the background of any image or logo using the Cut Out tool in the Photo Studio. Learn how to create a transparent background.


If you're unable to upload your SVG file, here are a few possible reasons:

  • File size limits: We limit SVG file sizes to 250 KB to ensure optimal performance. If your SVG file exceeds this size, try simplifying the design or using an online SVG optimizer to reduce the file size without compromising quality.

  • Embedded files: SVG files with embedded files, such as PNG or JPEG images, cannot be uploaded.
