# Use your media library

The **Media Library** keeps every file you upload, so you can reuse it in any post. Open it from **Media Library** in the left menu.

## Upload files

1. Click **Upload Media**, or drag files onto the page and drop them when you see **Drop to upload**.
2. Wait for the upload to finish. Stay on the page — leaving stops uploads that are still running.

You can upload:

| Type | Formats | Can be posted? |
|---|---|---|
| Images | JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP | Yes |
| Video | MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V | Yes |
| PDF | PDF | Yes, on LinkedIn |
| Audio | MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC | No — stored for editing only |

Files can be up to **100 MB** each on this page. Large images may be resized before upload to keep them fast.

## Find a file

- **Search media...** finds files by their file name.
- Filter by **All**, **Images**, **Videos**, **Audio** or **PDFs**.
- Sort by **Newest**, **Oldest**, **Largest** or **A–Z**.
- Turn on **Unused only** to see files that are not in any post.

The tiles at the top show your totals and how much storage you use.

## Add tags and a description

Click a file to open its details.

- **Tags** — type a tag and press Enter. Up to 50 characters each.
- **Alt Text** — describe what is in the file, up to 500 characters. It helps people using screen readers, and it lets [AI tools](/help/ai-tools/connect-ai-tool) find the file when you ask for it in plain words.
- **Folder** — a label like "products" or "blog".

Click **Save Changes**. You see **Media details updated successfully**. The file name can't be changed.

From the same panel you can open the file in a new tab, copy its link, or **Download** it.

## Use a file in a post

In **Create Post**, click the add tile under **Media** and pick the file. See [Add images, video or a PDF](/help/posts/media).

## Delete files

**One file:** open it, click **Delete**, and confirm.

**Several files:**

1. Tick the files, or use **Select all on this page**.
2. Delete and confirm.

Deleting is **permanent**. If a file is used in posts, the confirmation tells you. Deleting removes it from those posts, and scheduled posts will publish **without** it.
