# Attaching Images And Files

MarsEdit supports uploading images and files directly to most blog systems.

## Drag and Drop...

The most straightforward way to add an image or file to a post is to drag it directly into the content of the post. The Upload Utility window will appear, showing a preview of the uploaded item and giving you an option to edit image size and other attributes.

Images and files can be uploaded immediately, or attached to the post to be uploaded right as the post is being published to your blog.

## Browse Media Libraries

The Media Manager supports browsing images from your Apple Photos library, as well as images from Aperture, Lightroom, and from custom folders you drag into the Media Manager.

1. Click the Media button in the main window or post editor window’s toolbar.
2. Click the On My Mac tab.
3. Select an item from one of your media libraries. If you keep files in a custom folder, you can drag it in to the media browser for easy reference.
4. Select your blog from the Upload to: popup menu.
5. Make adjustments to the size, name, and other information if desired.
6. Click the Insert or New Post button.

The attachment will be uploaded when you publish your post.

## Insert a previously-uploaded image or file

MarsEdit keeps a catalog of all the images and files you have uploaded with it, so you can easily re-insert them in future blog posts.

Note: MarsEdit does not currently support downloading the existing list of media files that are published to your blog. This is a feature we hope to add in a future update.

1. Click the Media button in the main window or post editor window’s toolbar.
2. Click the Published tab.
3. Select the image or file that you want to insert.
4. Click the Insert or New Post button to embed the image in your post.
