Adding photos to a gallery

Photos are uploaded directly into galleries. Open a gallery in the editor, then drag your files in or click the Upload button.

How it works

1. Open a gallery from your portfolio
2. Click Upload in the gallery editor, or drag files anywhere onto the canvas
3. Folio begins uploading immediately — you can continue working while files go up

Photos appear in the gallery as they finish uploading. You can reorder them, organize into collections, or adjust gallery settings while uploads are still running.

Supported formats

Category	Formats
Web images	JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF
High-quality	TIFF, PSD
RAW	CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, DNG, ORF, RW2, and more

Processing

After upload, Folio handles two things automatically:

Task	What it does
Thumbnail generation	Creates preview images at multiple resolutions for fast browsing
EXIF extraction	Reads camera metadata — lens, focal length, ISO, shutter speed, etc.

Large uploads (1,000+ files) may take a few minutes to fully process. Thumbnails appear progressively as they're ready.

Storage

Uploaded files count against your plan's storage quota. Thumbnails and previews generated by Folio do not count.

See Storage & quotas for details on limits and what happens when you're close to full.
