Media library
The media library is the shared storage for your salon's images. Upload a photo or logo once and reuse it in all your emails. That way you never have to upload the same file twice, and your visuals stay neatly in one place.
Where do you find the media library?
The media library doesn't have its own menu item. It opens from the email builder as soon as you choose an image:
- in the campaign editor under Campaigns, and
- when editing an email under Settings > Email templates.
In the builder, click an image (or drag an image block into your email) and choose an image. The Select image window then opens with all the files from your media library.
Uploading images
- Open the media library from the email builder.
- Click Upload and choose one or more files from your computer or phone.
- The files appear in the grid right away and are ready to use.
Salonnare supports the following formats:
- PNG -- ideal for logos and images with a transparent background.
- JPG -- suitable for photos.
- WebP -- a modern format with a small file size.
- GIF -- for simple animations; they keep moving.
Each file can be at most 10 MB. Salonnare compresses and optimises your images on upload, so they load quickly in emails without you having to set anything up. For email programs that don't show newer formats (such as Outlook on Windows), Salonnare automatically creates a suitable version.
You can select several files at once and upload them in one go. Handy when you want to add a batch of product photos or banners.
Storage limit per plan
How much you can store in total depends on your plan. At the top of the media library you always see a bar with your current usage and the limit:
| Plan | Storage limit |
|---|---|
| Free | 100 MB |
| Starter | 500 MB |
| Pro | 2 GB |
Your salon logos and the photos on your salon page in the marketplace are stored here too and count towards the limit. When you get close to the limit, the bar turns orange as a warning. Once the limit is reached, the bar turns red and uploading no longer works. Upgrade to a higher plan for more space, or delete images you no longer use (see below).
Using images
In the media library, click an image to place it in your email. If you had already selected an image in the builder, it's replaced by your choice. See Email campaigns and Email templates for the full explanation.
Because the library is shared, an image you upload for a campaign is also ready for your email templates, and the other way round.
Searching for files
If you have a lot of images, use the search field at the top to quickly filter by file name. Type part of the name and the grid only shows the matching files.
Deleting files
Under each image in the media library, next to the file size, there is a bin icon. Use it to delete that image.
- Click the bin icon under the image. This does not place the image in your email.
- Salonnare first checks where the image is used and then opens the window Delete image.
- If the image isn't used anywhere, the window asks Delete this file? followed by the file name. Click Delete.
- If it is used, the window says: This image is still used in these places. If you delete it, no image will be shown there: with the list of places below it. Click Delete anyway if that's fine with you, or Cancel to keep it.
That list can name these places:
- an email template, with the name of the email and the language, for example Email template: Review request (EN);
- a campaign, with the name of the campaign;
- the photo of a service;
- the photos on your salon page in the marketplace;
- your salon logo, the logo on the login screen, the logo on the booking page, the logo in emails or the background photo of the booking page.
Deleting cannot be undone. If the image is in an email, a campaign or on your booking page, no image will be shown there after you delete it. Replace it there first if you don't want that.
You can also delete a photo of your salon page in the Photos panel under Settings > Marketplace & SEO.
Tips
- Upload once, use everywhere -- the library is shared, so you never have to upload the same file again.
- Upload deliberately -- every upload counts towards your storage limit, so don't upload ten versions of the same banner.
- Choose the right format -- use PNG for logos with transparency and JPG or WebP for photos.
