How do I upload an image to Joomla?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:17 am

Uploading an image to Joomla can be a bit of a challenge. In general, you will need to use the File Manager to browse to the image file, and then use the appropriate Joomla tools to upload it.

One option is to use the Joomla Uploader. This tool is available as a plugin and can be installed through the Joomla Administrator.

Once installed, you can access the Uploader by clicking on the “Upload Files” button on the main Joomla Administration screen.

The Uploader has several options. You can either select the file you want to upload, or enter the file name and location directly.

You can also select the file type (Joomla document or image), and the file size.

PRO TIP: When uploading an image to Joomla, be sure to check the file permissions on the server. If the file permissions are not set correctly, the image will not be visible on the website.

Once you have completed the configuration, you can click on the “Upload” button to start the process. The Uploader will prompt you to confirm the upload, and then it will process the file.

If you are using the Joomla Uploader plugin, you can also use the “Export” button to export the uploaded file to a different file format. This is helpful if you need to share the file with someone else, or if you need to use the file in a different Joomla installation.

The final option for uploading images to Joomla is to use the “File Manager” tool.

Once installed, you can access the File Manager by clicking on the “File Manager” button on the main Joomla Administration screen.

The File Manager has several features, including the ability to browse to the image file, and to upload the file.
