How to access Loomly Studio 

Accessing Loomly Studio is straightforward and flexible depending on your workflow. You can access it in two convenient ways — Post Builder or the Library. 

Editing Images and Videos from Post Builder 

Editor’s Note: The Post Builder was updated in February 2024. Please check out this blog post for detailed updates.

After you’ve shared your generic content and selected your social channels in Post Builder, you can import a visual asset from your Loomly Library, your local computer, a URL, Unsplash, or Google Drive. 

Once your asset has been uploaded, click the three dots in the top right corner of your visual asset and select “Crop & Edit Video” or “Crop & Edit Image,” depending on the media type.

You’ll then be taken to the Loomly Studio to edit your visual assets. Taking advantage of the Loomly Studio while drafting your post in Post Builder allows you to apply finishing touches seamlessly and quickly. No more downloading and re-uploading assets between different tools! 

You can also access the Loomly Studio in the Fine-tuning step. This is ideal for tailoring images and videos to match the specifications of each platform, ensuring that each channel has the correct video and image dimensions for auto-publishing each post.

Editing unused images and videos from the Loomly Library

If you like to batch create content, we recommend using the Loomly Studio in your Loomly Library. 

Heads up: You can only use Loomly Studio from the Loomly Library on any unused photos and videos.  

To access the Library, navigate to Calendar or List View and click the book icon on the top right corner. From here, you can find all the visual assets you’ve uploaded to Loomly.

Upload a new image/video or select the asset you wish to edit, click the three dots in the top right corner, and choose “View Asset.”

A pop-up window will appear, providing details about the asset including its name, description, labels, and more. Organize your content by customizing these details. 

To use Loomly Studio to edit the asset, click the button with a pencil icon.

One tip we have for you is to tag your asset with a label that says something like “Edited” once you’re done so you can easily filter and see which visuals are ready for you to use.
