Wix Media: About the Media Manager

The Media Manager contains all the media files on your site such as images, videos, audio, docs and vector art. It also contains libraries of free Wix media, Unsplash and Shutterstock media.
Each site in your account has its own Media Manager. This helps you and your site collaborators work more efficiently as everybody who is working on the site has access to all the relevant media files.
