Media

Media refers to Joomla’s media manager, which is responsible for uploading, managing and editing images, videos and documents.

  • Function and Purpose

    The media manager (found under Content → Media) stores all files in the /images/ directory. You can create folders, upload files and perform basic image edits (e.g. crop or scale).

    Features and Usage

    • File management: Create folder structures, rename or delete files.
    • Edit images: Basic editing tools like cropping and scaling.
    • File types: Allowed types can be defined in the Global Configuration.

    Important Notes

    • Folder structure: Keep your media files well organized so they’re easy to find.
    • Size optimization: Reduce image sizes before uploading to improve load times.
    • Access control: Specify which user groups are allowed to upload or delete media.
