Learn how Flipsnack's media library (uploads) functions today and the exciting updates that will improve its efficiency soon.
What is Flipsnack's media library?
The media library is a dedicated space where your uploaded images are stored within the app. You can add images from various sections of Flipsnack, making it easy to include them at every step of your design process. Here’s where you can upload images once you're in the app:
- Settings: Add a logo to personalize your workspace.
- Branding: Customize your profile with a favicon, header logo, social media image, and brand logo.
- My Account: Upload your account profile image.
- Flipbook details: Send emails with your logo and brand your QR code for downloads.
- Customize page: Add a logo to your flipbook and upload a background image.
And here’s where you can upload media files in Design Studio:
- The first and main place is the Uploads tab, easy to spot in the side navigation. Here you can upload files in two sections: “My uploads” or “Team uploads” in case you are working with other teammates.
- Images in interactions: Add images as cover photos for embeds, or for spotlight and slideshow effects, pop-up slideshows, shopping areas, and product buttons.
- Images in elements: Use images within shapes (as masks) in your designs.
Uploading images throughout the process makes it easier to keep your designs consistent and ensures you don’t forget key branding elements. You can re-upload the same brand elements later, like logos or backgrounds, when you create new designs.
What’s new in the upcoming version?
In the new version, instead of uploading images in different sections, there will be one central place to manage your media. Entering the Design Studio and looking at the side navigation, you'll access the “Uploads tab”, where all your images will be stored. The organization with folders remains unchanged, being able to sort files within the two sections: “My Uploads” and “Team Uploads”, just like in the present. This makes it easier to access and manage your files whenever you need them.
With this new media library, you'll have all your branding and design images in one place, ready for quick and easy use—simplifying your workflow even more. Stay tuned for the exciting updates coming soon!
