Use the Content Studio

The content studio organizes your images, documents, and other files in Mailchimp. Use it to store and manage the content you'll share with your audience.

In this article, you'll learn how to use the content studio.

Before you start

• To access Instagram photos in the content studio, connect your Mailchimp account to a Facebook Page you manage that is also connected to your Instagram Business profile.
• Product images are available to users who connect a supported e-commerce store or custom API 3.0 integration. To find out if your store supports this feature, visit the Integrations page, click the name of your integration, and check for Product content block in the Features list.
• If you edit a product image in Mailchimp, no changes will be made to the original source file. Instead, we'll add a new, edited version of it to the My Files tab in the content studio.

Upload or import files

You can upload images up to 1MB each and other file types up to 10MB each to the content studio from several locations in your account. You can also import an image file from a URL.

Link images or files in your campaigns, and we'll track the clicks in the campaign report so you can see who downloaded them.
