# Upload owned assets

Learn how to upload your own brand images and videos for use alongside sourced content.

Amondo lets you upload your own brand or partner photos and videos as **Media Tiles** and add them directly to your [Collections](/getting-started/core-platform-concepts/collections.md). Once added, these assets can be reused across any connected Imprint.

Uploading owned assets gives you full control over how your content appears and behaves – while keeping it structured, reusable and consistent across experiences.

### **What you can do with Media Tiles and uploads**

**Media Tiles** allow you to upload and control your owned content in a flexible way:

* Upload your photos and videos in multiple formats, including **JPEG, PNG, WebP, MP4, MOV and AVIF**
* Upload high-resolution media; Cloudinary-backed uploads are capped at 4K ingest resolution before delivery variants are generated
* Add multiple files at once as a batch upload
* Add captions or supporting text to provide context to the Tiles
* Set custom dates for when content was created for accurate timelines
* Display author information with avatars and usernames
* Mark content as Instagram Stories when relevant
* Control how images are displayed, including cropped or full-width with borders

Before uploading, review [**Tile specs and supported sizes here**](/platform-guides/build/activation-tiles/tile-specs.md) to make sure your content displays correctly.

### **Creating a Media Tile**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open the Collection you want to add the content to and click the "**Add Content**" button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select "**Media Tile**" from the list of available sources.

Click "**Upload media**" and choose your photo or video. You can upload multiple files at once.

Once created, the Tile is ready to be used in any Imprint connected to this Collection.

### **Additional options**

When creating a Media Tile, you can further customise how it appears and behaves using the following optional settings:

* **Caption** – Add text or a description to accompany your media
* **Date** – Set a custom creation date for the content
* **Show author** – Optionally display author information, including avatar and username
* **Instagram Story** – Mark the Tile as content originally created for Instagram Stories
* **Non-interactive** - Make the Tile non-clickable within an Imprint
* **Fit cropping** - Choose whether the image is cropped to fit the tile or shown in full with borders

These options help you tailor how your own content is presented
