The media library

Files are filed, described, and served in several sizes as WebP.

A site's pictures usually end up in a folder nobody tidies. Here they live in a library: filed, tagged, described, and findable.

What the library holds

  • Folders, one category per document, and as many tags as needed.
  • Alt text per picture, for screen readers and for search engines.
  • Successive versions of the same document, and the list of pages using it.
  • Several sizes generated automatically and served as WebP, unasked.
  • A royalty-free photo search without leaving the screen: the file is downloaded, filed and credited on its own.

Deleting a document says first where it is used: a picture does not vanish from a page without warning.

A document opened: its preview, its dimensions, where it is filed, its dates, and what it takes to crop or download it.
