Add Media to Your Builder Media Library

Adding Media to your Lifeology Builder Library is a quick way to upload images and gifs to be able to add to any of your courses. You can also add Alt Text to an image or gif to increase the accessibility of your course. It is recommended that all media be in a square format (1:1) to be compatible with the desktop and mobile versions of the finished course deck. When uploading the media, we offer a crop option to make this process easier.

Note: We recommend you take the time to crop your images to the 1:1 ratio, selecting the part of the image you wish to display. Our builder will not prohibit you from uploading and using an uncropped image.
