# Media and editors

Use **Media** to keep reusable images, video, and audio for a workspace. Open it to upload a file, find an earlier upload, add tags, or see which posts and designs use a file. Switch workspaces first if a file seems to be missing.

Choose a tool based on what the finished post needs:

| What you want to do                      | Start here                                                             |

| Find, tag, or reuse an upload            | [Media library](https://openpo.st/docs/guides/media-library)                                 |
| Make a post image or carousel            | [Image Editor](https://openpo.st/docs/image-editor)                                          |
| Combine clips, audio, text, and captions | [Video Editor](https://openpo.st/docs/video-editor)                                          |
| Remove unwanted ranges from a recording  | [Quick Cut](https://openpo.st/docs/video-editor/quick-cut-and-recorder#trim-with-quick-cut)  |
| Capture a screen, camera, or microphone  | [Recorder](https://openpo.st/docs/video-editor/quick-cut-and-recorder#capture-with-recorder) |

## Add the result to a post

For an existing publication, start a design from its media picker. **Export and attach** can return the finished images to that post. A finished video can use **Send to OpenPost**, then **Open composer**. You can also choose saved files directly from Media.

Check the preview for every destination. Providers accept different file types, sizes, and attachment counts. OpenPost keeps a file that a publication or editor still uses; open its details to check usage before deleting it.
