Upload and manage store images

Upload a file

1. From the dashboard, open Media.
2. Select the upload control and choose a supported image.
3. Wait for the upload to finish.
4. Copy the image URL, or pick the image straight from the product editor: select the image box and choose Choose from Media Library.

What the library shows

The Library tab lists the images you uploaded here and the pictures Mink AI made or refined for you. The photos a storefront redesign uses are listed once you apply it. Photos you attach to a Mink AI chat are not listed here, although Mink can still use them for what you asked. The Product images tab lists every photo your products use, including variant and colour photos, and names the products that use each one. Open a product from there to change or remove its photos.

How files are handled

Image uploads are limited to 5 MB. The Media screen accepts JPEG, PNG, WebP, SVG, GIF, and AVIF images. JPEG, PNG, WebP, and SVG uploads are normally optimized and stored as WebP for efficient storefront delivery. GIF and AVIF files keep their original format to preserve animation or an already efficient encoding; if optimization of another validated non-SVG image fails, StoreMink keeps the original file instead.

Delete with care

An image that a product, a page, a category or your header and footer still uses cannot be deleted, and neither can one used by a storefront redesign that Mink AI is still making or that you have not applied yet. The library says what uses the image and what to do first. Before deleting any other image, remove it from branding, blog posts, or other content that still uses its URL, because deleting does not rewrite the places where the URL was pasted.

If an upload fails

Check the supported image type and 5 MB limit, keep the tab open until the upload completes, and try again on a stable connection. A broken SVG is refused rather than stored raw. Do not upload confidential documents; media URLs are intended for public storefront content.
