Wix Media: Viewing & Managing Your Site's Media Storage Usage
6 min read
Every image, video, audio or other file you upload to Wix is hosted securely on Wix's servers. These media files count towards your site's total storage limit.
You can view how much storage your site is using from your dashboard. A progress bar illustrates how much storage you've used for different file types (e.g. images, audio, docs). All your files are listed below the progress bar, making it easy to select multiple files and perform bulk actions.
Need more storage?
If you need more storage, you can upgrade your site. You can do this in addition to adding a storage plan to your site to make sure you have enough space for your media.
