# Adding images

Learn how to upload, access, and add images to your Resources.

## **Uploading images in the Resource Editor**

Source & Summit currently does not host native images (with the exception of decorative [Dividers](/v1/docs/layout-spacing#spacers-and-dividers)), but you can upload your own images in the Resource Editor to give your congregational booklets and music packets a unique look.

1. [Open the Resource Editor](/v1/docs/creating-booklets-and-music-packets#accessing-the-resource-editor).
2. Click **Images** in the left panel.
3. Click the **Upload Image** button.
4. Search for your image that you would like to add.

Source & Summit supports the following file types:
  - **PNG**
  - **GIF**
  - **JPEG**
  - **TIFF**
  - **PDF**
5. Select the image file from your computer and click **Open.**

→ A thumbnail of your image will appear in the left panel.
