Capable Images gives Confluence a proper image library. Images live in two places: a per-space library, and one site-wide "Global" library.

Inside each library you can create a single flat level of folders (no sub-folders), upload files, drag in page attachments or Unsplash stock photos, rename, move and delete.

Every image in the library is searchable. Your original file is kept exactly as you uploaded it, with a small thumbnail made for browsing.

Once an image is in the library you can put it on a page three ways: as a plain native Confluence image (a frozen copy that survives exports and logged-out readers), as the Image reference macro (a live link that always shows the latest version of the library image), or as the Image folder gallery macro.

Capable Images welcome screen with the library folders listed down the left side and cards for adding, inserting and editing images
The Images app opens on a welcome screen. Your folders sit in the sidebar on the left, under Image library.
