4. You can then choose to upload an image from your device (recommended) or from a URL. 
5. By choosing **from your device** you can simply click within the box provided to choose the desired image. If you choose **by URL** you will need to enter the URL in which your image is located.
6. When you are happy click **Done.**

### How do I import multiple images at the same time?

3\. Locate the **Import/Export** button next to the Add Images button at the top of the page.

4\. Here you can choose to import or export your images, after clicking **Import,** you will be faced with a new page where you will see a box upload a ZIP file of the images you wish to import. Our system will then unzip the file and upload the images for you.
