Create a rich, engaging portfolio that highlights your skills and creativity. Add media to your portfolio projects by importing from the Media Manager, uploading from your computer and apps, embedding URLs, or syncing media from app integrations.
A well-curated portfolio with diverse media types makes a strong impression and sets you apart from others. For example, if you're a graphic designer, you can upload high-quality images of your designs, embed video tutorials, or sync your latest work from Instagram, giving your visitors much to browse.
To add media, make sure you have added and set up your portfolio.
Adding media to your projects
Upload your media to your projects from a variety of sources such as your computer, other wix sites, social networks or by adding / embedding URLs.
Note:
If you connected your project to an app integration (Instagram, Google Photos, DeviantArt, Dribbble) you will not see an option to add media from the Media Manager. Instead, make changes in the relevant app to sync them to your portfolio. Learn more about syncing media from portfolio integrations.
