When you upload images using the rich-text editor in Orchard (or using an XML-RPC client, such as [Windows Live Writer](http://explore.live.com/windows-live-writer)), the images are saved in a _Media_ folder under the root of your Orchard installation. The _Media_ folder must be writable (by the user process that's running the website) in order for image uploads to succeed. If you installed Orchard using the [Web Platform Installer](http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx), the _Media_ folder write permissions are configured automatically.

Orchard lets you upload single media files as well as uploading a _.zip_ file that contains multiple image files. If you have a large set of images to upload, it can be more efficient to first add them all to a _.zip_ file and then just upload the _.zip_ file instead of uploading the images one by one.
