Compatibility:

WebSite X5 Evo and Pro

There are many cases in which you will need to import a file while working on your website: you may need to add an image while preparing a template, or, when setting up your pages, you may have to add or connect images, video, audio or any other kind of files.


In WebSite X5, you will find the following buttons everywhere you can add a file: 

  • use it to access the system File Selection window and select a locally stored file;
  • use it to access the WebSite X5 File Selection window and select a file from the integrated Online Libraries or from an online platform.


The WebSite X5 File Selection window has different sections and the one displayed depends on the kind of file you need to import. The possible sections are: 


The Premium Images section

This section of the File Selection window is available only if you need to import an image file: you can access a Library reporting thousands of high-quality and royalty-free Premium Images. 



You can easily search the Premium Images with the integrated search engine and the numerous filters. The selected images are reported as drafts with watermarks in the Project Library. If you decide to buy them, the draft will be substituted with the original image.


#tip - The Premium Images library is powered by Depositphotos, one of the most popular stock images platform worldwide. For more information, please see: What are Premium Images and how to use them.

 

The Free Images section

Also this section of the File Selection window is available only if you need to import an image file: you can access a rich Library of free images you can freely use of your projects. 



You can search an image by keywords, category or type: the image is downloaded on your PC.


#tip - The free Images library is powered by Pixabay. For more information, please see: Where can I find free images to use on my website.


The Free Videos section

If  you are going to add a video, this section of the File Selection window will report an archive of free videos which you can freely access. 


The videos are downloaded on your PC.


#tip - The archive of free videos is offered by Pixabay too.


The YouTube/Vimeo section

If you need to add a video, on the File Selection window you will be able to directly paste the URL of the video on YouTube or Vimeo too. 


In this case, the selected file will stay online: it won't be downloaded on your PC.


The File from URL section 

Regardless the kind of resource, the File Selection window always offers you the possibility of importing an online file. Use the appropriate field to paste the file URL, which you can copy from your browser address bar.  Click on  to make sure the reported URL is correct.  


By using this function, the selected file will stay online: it won't be downloaded on your PC.


#tip - All files you import are automatically saved in the project library. For more information, see: What are the Projects and how to manage them.
