# Media library

Find what you made in Studio, restore deleted items from Trash, and upload, copy and download the image and video files your sites use.

**Media** in the dashboard panel (shortcut `g` then `m`) holds two things: what you create in Studio, and the files your sites use. You can also open it from the account menu as **Media library**. Two buttons at the top choose the source, **Creations** and **Site files**.

## Creations

Creations is the Studio generation library inside the dashboard. Items are grouped by day, newest first, and load 40 at a time. The primary button is **Create in Studio**.

| Tab | What it shows |
| --- | --- |
| All | Everything in your library. |
| Images | Generated images. |
| Videos | Generated videos. |
| Favourites | Items you marked **Favourite**. |
| Trash | Items you deleted. Nothing is erased: you can restore any of them. |

- The search box, **Search your creations**, searches your creations. It accepts up to 120 characters and filters 300 milliseconds after you stop typing.
- Opening an item shows Studio's own viewer. The left and right arrow keys move between items and Esc closes it.
- **Favourite** (it then reads **Favourited**) adds the item to the Favourites tab.
- Videos that are still rendering get a notice above the list: "Your gallery updates as active video jobs finish." If a job has failed or run for more than 30 minutes, it says "Some jobs failed or stayed in progress for over 30 minutes. Reviewing them spends no credits." Select **Review** to see them and **Hide details** to close the list.
- An empty tab reads "Nothing here yet" and says what you make in Studio is saved here automatically.

### Delete and restore

Deleting an item shows "Moved to Trash" with an **Undo** button. In the **Trash** tab, open an item and select **Restore** to bring it back ("Restored to your library"). The dashboard has no permanent delete for Trash: its viewer offers **Restore** only.

## Site files

Site files lists the images and videos stored in your account's media folder, newest first, 36 at a time. It is where files you upload for your sites are kept.

| Control | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| **+ Upload files** | Choose one or several files. It accepts images, MP4, WebM, QuickTime and MOV, M4V, and HEIC or HEIF. Each success shows "File added to your site library" or "<n> files added to your site library". A wrong type shows "<name> isn't an image or video". |
| **All files**, **Images**, **Videos** | Filters the list by type. |
| Card | Shows Image or Video, the date and the size. Select it to open a preview. |
| **Copy address** | In the preview: copies the file's web address. A toast says "File address copied". |
| **Download** | In the preview: saves the file. |
| **Load more files** | Appears when more files are left to list. |

## Use media in a site

In the editor you replace an image by uploading a file or browsing the library, and you pick a page's social share image the same way. See [Images, video and the media library](https://www.uova.com/help/build/editor/images-and-media) and [SEO settings](https://www.uova.com/help/build/seo).

## Limits

- Uploads from the Site files tab are checked by the server at 15 MB for an image and 80 MB for a video. A larger file stops with "File is too large (<n> MB — max <m> MB)".
- The editor's image picker applies tighter limits: 10 MB for an image and 50 MB for a video.
- Site files has no delete button. Items in Creations can be moved to Trash.
- Uploading your own font files is not supported.
- Downloads and Studio history are covered in [Library, history and downloads](https://www.uova.com/help/studio/library-and-downloads).

**I deleted a generated image. Is it gone?**

It is in **Trash** and can be restored with **Restore**.

**Where do the images I upload for my site go?**

They appear under **Site files**.

**Is this the same library as in Studio?**

Creations is the Studio generation library, so what you make in Studio shows here. Site files is an extra source that only the dashboard has.

**Can I delete a file from Site files?**

Not from this page. Remove it from the sites that use it, or leave it unused.
