Access and organize your images 🖼️
The media gallery lets you access images you've uploaded to Kit, and images available via integrations, so you can add them to your emails, Forms, Landing Pages, and other Kit email marketing assets. You can also favorite your images for convenient access.
The media gallery will appear when you add an image or replace an existing one.
For example, it'll appear:
When you click the + icon on the left > Image in the email editor to add an image to your email (as shown in the screenshot below)
When you click an existing image in your email in the email editor, followed by the Replace button in the right sidebar
When you click the + icon on the left in the Form builder > Image to add an image to your Form
The media gallery has various tabs corresponding to different image sources. Let's check out how they work:
NOTE: For simplicity, we'll talk about using the media gallery to add images to an email from now on. But the media gallery works the same way if you're adding an image to a Form, Landing Page, or anywhere else that supports images.
Uploads
Upload images from your device and access your previously uploaded images here.
To upload an image, drag and drop it into the upload box or click Choose an image to upload. Only JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP files smaller than 25 MB are accepted.
NOTE: For better compatibility with email clients, we'll convert your uploaded WebP files to JPG files. This also means that animated WebP files will become static images showing just the first frame of the animation.
Your uploaded images will appear under the upload box. Click the one you want to use, and it'll be added to your email.
To delete an uploaded image, hover your cursor over it and click the trash can icon at the top right. 🗑️
Then, click Delete in the window that pops up to confirm.
Favorites
The images you've favorited will appear here, ordered by the most recently favorited. This is useful for conveniently accessing images you use often.
You can favorite images from any source (e.g., uploads or Unsplash) by hovering your cursor over it and clicking the heart icon at the top right.
Click any favorited image to add it to your email.
To unfavorite an image, hover your cursor over it and click the red heart icon at the top right.
Unsplash
Our Unsplash integration lets you grab beautiful (and free!) stock images from the Unsplash website without leaving Kit.
Use the search bar at the top to search for images, and the settings on the right to filter and sort the results.
For example, you can choose to view only images with landscape orientation, or sort the images by relevance.
NOTE: The image orientation filter will appear only after you start typing into the search bar.
Click any image to add it to your email. The image will also be added to the Uploads tab for future access.
Our Instagram integration syncs your Instagram images to your Kit account so you can use them in your emails!
Only your images will be synced to Kit. Other media, like your videos and Reels, will not.
Click Log in with Instagram to integrate with Instagram. You'll see an Instagram window pop up, asking you to log in to your Instagram account. It will then ask you to authorize the connection with Kit.
Once you allow access, images you've posted to your Instagram account will appear. Click any image to add it to your email!
Disconnecting the integration
Disconnecting your Instagram account will remove your Instagram images from the media gallery.
To do this, go to your Instagram account settings > Website permissions > Apps and websites.
You'll see Kit under the Active tab. Hit the Remove button to disconnect Kit from your Instagram account.
