Before you begin

  • A signed-in account.
  • An existing result or a supported local media file.

What you’ll achieve: Media organized in Library and ready for another tool.

Model choices

Library keeps ready media from unrestricted AI image and video workflows as well as your uploaded files. Reusing or downloading a saved item does not change its generation model or require you to generate it again.

Open Library

Select Library in navigation. Saved media is separate from the tool composer, so you can return to files without recreating them.

Step 1 · Library
Tong Library interface for “Open Library”, with the Library control highlighted by arrow 1.

Step 1: Library

100%Zoom, then scroll to inspect a control.
Next step

Find the media you need

Use the Library search and media filters to narrow the list. Inspect the file name, thumbnail and type before opening a result or assigning it to another workflow.

Step 2 · Search projects or media
Tong Library interface for “Find the media you need”, with the Search projects or media control highlighted by arrow 2.

Upload a source file

Use the Library upload control to choose a supported image, video or audio file. Wait for preparation to finish before reusing it; a local preview does not by itself mean the server has saved the file.

Step 3 · Add media
Tong Library interface for “Upload a source file”, with the Add media control highlighted by arrow 3.

Step 3: Add media

100%Zoom, then scroll to inspect a control.
Next step

Open or download a result

Open a media item to inspect it and use its download action when available. Saved inputs and completed outputs can be reused without generating them again. Review the confirmation carefully before deleting a file.

Step 4 · Preview Academy character.webp

A useful tip

Give projects and source files descriptive names so you can distinguish a reference, a draft and a finished export.

If something goes wrong

If a preview is unavailable, let the media finish saving and reload Library. Keep your local source until the upload is complete. Do not submit a new generation just to make an existing download reappear.
