Remember to optimize your images for web use by resizing and compressing them to reduce file size and improve website performance. Additionally, ensure that you have the necessary rights and permissions to use and upload the images on your website.

These methods give you flexibility in uploading images to your WordPress website, allowing you to choose the approach that best suits your needs and workflow.
