Drag & Drop Images: Add Photos in Seconds

November 10, 2025

It’s never been easier (or faster) to add images to your artworks.

Simply drag photos from your desktop onto any artwork list page in CMS to add multiple images to an artwork at once—no need to open the artwork edit page.

Providing strong photos is one of the most effective ways to make your listings more engaging to collectors on Artsy. Whether you’re preparing new works or refreshing older listings, this update makes it easier to keep your artworks looking their best.
