Uploading images and files

Upload images and files to the component library so you can use them in your campaign assets.

Before you begin:

• The maximum size for an upload in File Storage is 10 MB.
• The maximum size for an upload in Images is 50 MB.
• The name of the file (including the dot and extension) cannot exceed 100 characters.
• Files in file storage are used to link outside of the main asset (email or landing page).
• If you upload a group of images, they must be placed in the same folder.
• Supported file formats are:

  • Image files: .jpg or .jpeg or .jpe, .gif, .bmp, .png, .tif or .tiff

    Note: It is recommended to upload images to the Images library. Use File Storage if you want link to an image rather than have the image in the email.

  • Web files: HTML (.htm or .html or .css), JavaScript (.js), XML (.xml)
  • Media files: .swf, .wmv, .aiff, .au, .mp3, .wma, .mp4, .avi, .asf, .rm, .mpeg, .mpeg-4, and .mov

  • Documents: Microsoft Word (97-2010 [and Mac 2011] .doc and .docx), Microsoft Excel (97-2010 [and Mac 2011] .xls, .xlsx and .csv), Microsoft PowerPoint (97-2010 [and Mac 2011], either .ppt or .pptx) files, PDF (.pdf), and text (.txt).

  • Calendar files: ICS (.ics).
