Upload an image or document to your Library

Add images and documents to the Library by browsing for the file on your computer

Important: Before uploading your images, make sure they're optimized to reduce the risk of an upload error. If you're using animated GIFs, you may encounter size restrictions while importing into your Library.

Whether you're working with JPGs, PNGs, GIFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, or PDFs, multiple files can be uploaded at a time from your computer and stored in your Library to add to your campaigns later.

When you upload a PDF into your Library, a PNG image of the first page is automatically created. The image can later be inserted into your email and linked to the full document. Word documents can be converted to PDFs before you upload them to auto-generate a thumbnail image.

Did you know? You can create an email from a PDF, which automatically includes an image of the first page and a button that links to the full PDF, all in one step!

Desktop instructions

If you're working on a desktop computer:

1. Click Assets > Library.
2. Click Upload > My Computer. In addition to uploading images from your computer, you can also choose from a variety of free and paid stock images and import photos from Facebook.
   
   
   
   
3. Click and drag the photo or document from your computer, or click the "or browse your computer to upload" link.
   
   
    
4. (Optional) Click on an image or document to edit the file name, add a brief description, or add it to a folder to keep your Library organized. If you’re uploading a PDF and don’t want to upload the auto-generated image, place your mouse over the thumbnail and click the X in the upper-right corner.
5. Click Upload Files.
   

   Did you know? The maximum supported file size is 20MB. If your file is too large to upload, there are third-party tools online you can use to resize it before uploading. You can also take a screenshot of the document's first page to upload as an image, then host the document on a third-party service, such as Google Drive or Dropbox, and link to it from your email.

   
   
    
6. When you're finished, click Done.
   
   
    

Once your files have been uploaded, you can use our image editor to enhance your images before adding them to your campaigns, insert a link to your document in a campaign, or turn a thumbnail of your document into a clickable image. 

Important: The URLs provided for images and documents hosted in the Library are intended for use within Constant Contact emails only. Any use outside of Constant Contact is a violation of our terms.
