Are you perplexed by image uploads in WordPress? Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Accessing the media library

Firstly, log into your WordPress account and locate the main menu on the left-hand side. Now, go ahead and select “Media” from the dropdown menu to access the media library.

Step 2: Uploading the image

Now that you’ve arrived at the media library, click the “Add New” button at the top of the screen to start uploading your image(s). You can upload your image(s) through either the “Select Files” button, or simply drag and drop into the upload area. But wait, if you’re uploading a large number of images, get ready to hold your breath because it may take a few moments for all the files to upload.

Step 3: Adding the image to your post

With your image now uploaded, you are almost there! Now, it’s time to insert the image into your post or page. Simply click on the image you want to use, and select “Add to Post.” Alternatively, you could also copy the URL of the image and insert it into a post or page using the “Insert/edit link” button.

Step 4: Editing the image

If you need to do any editing to the image(s), no need to fret! Just click on the image in the media library, and click “Edit Image” to access a plethora of editing options. Here, you can crop or scale your image, adjust brightness and contrast, or even add some textual flare.

Step 5: Creating an image gallery

Feeling adventurous and want to create a gallery of images? Simply select “Create Gallery” from the media library, pick and choose which images to include in the gallery and arrange them in any order you fancy. Once you’ve created your gallery, you can display it in any post or page using the “Add Media” button and choosing the “gallery” option.

Step 6: Organizing your media library

As your media library grows, it may become intimidating to keep track of all your images. That’s where this step comes in handy! We suggest using tags, categories, and other metadata to organize your media library and make searching for specific images a breeze.

To add tags and categories to your images, just click on the image in the media library and select “Edit”. From there, you can add tags and categories as required. Bonus: you can use the “Bulk Select” option to add tags or categories to multiple images simultaneously.

In conclusion…

Now that you know the easy steps to uploading images in WordPress, try your best to make sure your images are looking their best as they can make a big difference on your website. Happy uploading!
