Upload, organize, and manage your HoneyBook Library

Learn how to upload images and files to your HoneyBook Library, organize them into folders, and use them across smart files, emails, forms, and projects — on the web or in the mobile app

Your HoneyBook Library is where you store frequently used images, PDFs, and other files so you can easily reuse them across your business. With folder-based organization, you can group and find assets quickly, and switch between grid and list views to browse the way that works best for you. For best results, check out our image sizing guidelines.

📣 Note

Client-uploaded images or files submitted through a project or workspace aren’t automatically added to your Library. To add them, upload them manually.


Navigate the Library

The Library has a few key elements:

  • Left panel — A folder navigation panel for organizing assets, aligned with how templates folders work

  • Filter chips — At the top of the Library, filter between All, Images, and Files

  • Search field — In the Library toolbar, use Search to find assets by name across images, files, and merged assets

  • View toggle — Switch between Grid view and List view to browse assets as cards or in a table

  • Sort options — At the top of the Library, use Sort by to order assets by Newest added, Oldest added, Name: A to Z, or Name: Z to A. In List view, you can also sort by Name, Folder, or Added by selecting a column header, then selecting it again to reverse the sort order.

  • List view preview — In List view, select a file or image row to open a preview. From the preview, you can close, download, or delete the asset.

Organize your Library with folders

Use folders to group assets by project type, client, season, or however works best for your workflow.

  • Create a folder — Select + Create folder in the left panel and give it a name

  • Move assets into a folder — Hover over an asset, then select

    Vertical ellipsis icon

    More options (vertical ellipsis icon) > Move to folder > the folder to move it to

  • Navigate folders — Select any folder in the left panel to view its contents

  • View metadata — In Grid view, file cards show filenames, folder names, and upload dates, and image card metadata appears on hover. In List view, assets appear in a table with columns for Name, Folder, and Added.

📚 Tips

  • There's no limit to the number of images and files you can store in your Library, though each individual file can be up to 15 MB

  • If you're using an image in an image block, you can adjust the content width or crop it. For thumbnail or item images, make sure you're using the right image size.

  • Images can be inserted inline in the body of an email when composing on the web, including by uploading an image or selecting one from your Library in the image picker. You can also add images as attachments. If an image upload fails when you send the email, remove the image and try again. Learn more about attaching files to emails.
