Media plays a major role in web design. You can find media being used everywhere on a website – hero images in the header section, featured images for posts, author images, product images, pop-ups, tutorials, guides, etc. 🖼️🎞️

WordPress provides you with a robust way to handle media. To learn how WordPress handles media files and attachments, have a look at the Media page from the Theme Developer Handbook.
