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.
From Manage Storage in your site's dashboard, you can view how much storage your site is using. A progress bar illustrates how much storage you've used for different file types such as images, audio, docs and more. All your site files are listed so you can view what's currently being stored on your site. This makes it easy to select multiple files and perform bulk actions.
