# How do I upload images or files?

When creating content within MetaLocator, it is sometimes necessary to upload an arbitrary file such as a PDF or an image.  Similarly, uploading content that is not specific to a single location might be necessary, such as a brochure or powerpoint file.

There are a few methods to uploading files to MetaLocator, the most common is to use the Bulk Uploader tool.  In the **Tools menu** in the upper right, choose **File Uploader  
​**
