The Library: every photo, filed by property

How photos get in

1. Upload photos on the Library page takes any image files, several at once, up to 8 MB each. A small dialog asks which property or folder to file them under.
2. Photos you add inside the guide editor (a cover, a logo, a card picture) are filed under that property automatically and named after where you used them, such as Rainbow's End cover.
3. Integrations › Import photos on the Airbnb card copies your listing's photos in at full size, with Airbnb's captions as their names. Importing twice never makes a duplicate.
4. The AI guide build brings its photos into the Library the same way, so everything it placed is here for reuse.

Big phone photos are fine: the editor recompresses what it uploads, and the Library keeps the original size for anything you upload directly.

Filing: properties, folders and Unsorted

A photo is filed in exactly one place: a property, a folder you made, or Unsorted. The group picker at the top of the page switches between them; All photos shows everything.

1. Pick + New folder… in the group picker to make a folder such as Neighborhood, Amenities or Logos: photos that belong to no single property.
2. Tick photos, choose a destination under Move to…, and click Move. Select all shown ticks the page.
3. Viewing a folder shows Rename and Delete folder. Deleting a folder moves its photos to Recently deleted, not into the void.

Filing changes nothing in your guides. A photo used on three guides keeps working wherever it is filed.

Names and AI captions

1. Every photo has a name: click the text under it and type. Uploads start out named after the file; imports keep the listing's caption.
2. Photos that arrive through an import or an AI build are also described by the AI: a short label, a two-sentence description and a category such as kitchen, hot tub or view. The label shows as the placeholder when you have not named a photo, and the category shows in List view.
3. The AI build uses those descriptions to put the hot tub photo on the hot tub card. Naming a photo yourself overrides nothing; both are kept.

Plain uploads are not captioned by the AI until something uses them (an import or a build). Give them a name and search finds them by it.

Finding a photo

1. The search box matches names and AI labels within the group on screen, and also searches The Tabellara collection, the license-free photographs included with every plan.
2. List view shows name, category, where it is filed and the date added, and sorts like a table. Grid view is for looking.
3. Load more at the bottom pages through a large library 48 at a time.

Using a photo

Wherever a picture can go, a Choose from library button opens the picker: This property or All properties, your photos first and the Tabellara collection beneath. That is the guide editor's cover, mobile cover, logo and card photos; the Journey's slides and background; store items; and the WiFi sign-in page.

The TV journey can draw its screensaver from the Library on its own: Only this property's photos shows guests the house they are in, without you picking slides one by one.

Deleting, and Recently deleted

1. The ✕ on a photo moves it to Recently deleted, where it waits 30 days. Guides already using it keep it; the picker simply stops offering it.
2. Open Recently deleted in the group picker to Restore photos or delete them for good. Photos from a deleted property wait on the same shelf.
3. After 30 days the shelf empties itself.

Deleting a photo permanently does not pull it out of a guide that still uses it, so you never get a broken picture, but you also cannot bring it back from here. Change the guide first if you meant to replace it.
