Uploading Photos

The Our Work page displays all photos and videos you’ve uploaded to the “gallery” folder in Directus. There are no extra forms to fill out — just upload a photo to the right folder and it appears on the website.

Supported Photo Formats

Section titled “Supported Photo Formats”

You can upload photos in these formats:

  • JPG / JPEG — the most common photo format (from phone cameras)
  • PNG — good for images with transparent backgrounds
  • WebP — a smaller, web-optimized format

Step-by-Step: Uploading a Photo

Section titled “Step-by-Step: Uploading a Photo”
  1. Log in to Directus.
  2. Click the Files icon in the left sidebar (it looks like an image).
  3. Look for the “gallery” folder on the left side of the Files area and click it.
  4. Click the Upload button (it may appear as a cloud icon with an arrow, or a ”+ New” button).
  5. Click Upload a File and select the photo from your computer — or drag and drop it directly into the Files area.
  6. Wait for the upload to complete. You’ll see the photo appear in the gallery folder.

That’s it — the photo will show up automatically on the Our Work page.

What If a Photo Looks Wrong?

  2. Find the photo you want to remove.
  3. Right-click on it (or click the three-dot menu) and select Delete.
