You can now add images to your Media Storage using a public image URL. This helps you avoid downloading files to your device before uploading.
What’s new
- Upload from URL: Import images directly from any publicly accessible image link.
- Preview before import: Review a thumbnail preview before adding the image to your library.
- Auto-detected file details: File name and image dimensions are pulled from the source URL automatically.
- Built-in validation: Get feedback for invalid links, unsupported formats, or oversized images.
- Copyright confirmation: Confirm you have permission to use the image before importing.
- Library management: Imported images are saved to your current Media Storage folder and behave like standard uploads.
How it works
- Open Media Storage.
- Click Upload, then select Upload from URL.
- Paste a public image URL and submit it.
- Review the preview and file details.
- Click Import.
- Confirm usage rights when prompted.
- The image is added to your current Media Storage folder.
This makes it faster to bring in assets from CDNs, shared image links, stock photo libraries, and other public sources without extra download-and-upload steps.
