# Photos

Photos for your site, each with a title, a caption, who took it and a description for people who can't see it.

## Use it when

Use it when you want a set of photos on your website, such as your space, your work or your events, each with its own caption and credit.

## Use something else when

For finished jobs with a before and an after photo, use [Projects](/docs/features/data/presets/projects-table). For videos, use [Videos](/docs/features/data/presets/videos-table).

## How to add it

1. Open your site in **My Sites**.
2. Under its sidebar, press **Add item**.
3. Press **Add to site**.
4. Choose **Photos** and keep **New table**, or reuse a compatible existing table.
5. Check the public columns, then press **Review changes**.
6. Check the changes and press **Apply**.

The table appears in this site's sidebar, not as a separate app sidebar feature. See [Photos on your site](/docs/features/sites/presets/photos-section) for settings and putting it on a page. No existing rows are copied or published.

## How to add a photo

1. Open **Photos**, or the name you gave it.
2. Press **New photo**. If you renamed the table, the button may say something else.
3. Under **Title**, type a name for the photo.
4. Under **Photo**, press **Choose photos** and pick or upload the picture. Fill in the **Caption** and **Photo credit** if you want.
5. Press **Create photo**.

You see **Photo created**, and the photo is in your list.

- Photos aren't copied in from your website or social accounts. Add each one from Drive yourself.
- Applying the preset twice makes two tables; apply it once and keep adding rows.
