# Add Image From Computer | Website Manual

**Add Image From Computer**

Uploading from your computer is the usual way to get a new photo onto a page.

Coming soon

We are recording a new video for this one.

## Before you finish

**Not seeing your change?**

Your browser may be showing a copy it saved earlier. Open the page in a private window, or press Ctrl + F5 to reload it fresh (Cmd + Shift + R on a Mac).

If your site has a caching plugin, clear its cache too. There is usually a button for it in the bar along the top of the dashboard. Still the old version after a few minutes? Ask whoever looks after your site to clear the server cache.

### Good to know

Uploading from your computer is the usual way to get a new photo onto a page. Once uploaded, the image is also stored in the Media Library for later use.

Before you upload, give the file a name that says what it shows, and resize very large photos. A picture straight off a phone can be several megabytes, which slows the page for every visitor.
