If you are going to use a file - such as an image, a video, a PDF - more than once, the first method is the preferred one. You can also create a folder structure, or receive it from the web builder, in which files are stored in a structured way. This is especially important when the number of files increases. And you can only upload a Word file in this way.

The Choose & upload files method is a convenient quick ad hoc method. To indicate: TYPO3 does not force you into one method, but you choose what you find most comfortable.

You can align an image to text by positioning it to the left, right, top, or bottom. You can also set dimensions, which is sometimes necessary.

Adding videos is essentially the same way, although you can't change the dimensions there.

Not shown here (yet): adding videos from YouTube and Vimeo. That's very easy, you just have to copy and save the link to the video to load such a video on your own website.

  • Do you want to optimize the images for accessibility and search engines? You can add the more or less mandatory "alt tag" per image as standard, and you can also vary this with the context in which you use the image. Best for SEO. You can handle the title that appears when you hover over the image in the same way, and the description under each image.
  • Do you want to enable image zooming? You can do that by simply checking "Click Enlarge".
  • Do you want a slideshow with multiple images? No problem, that is more or less standard in the system.
  • Do you want an image to be clickable and link to another page or a file download? This is standard in TYPO3.
  • Do you want a website login for certain branches in your website? Pages can also be hidden until a visitor has logged in.
  • Do you want to show PDF files as images and have them open when they are clicked? This is possible and is more or less standard in the system. This is not possible just as automatically with Word files, but with a detour.
  • Do you want to make files available securely, behind a login? That is possible.
