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
