There is an "Add media batch" button at the top of your project's media list. Following this link takes you to a form where you can upload an archived file of media and enter metadata that apply to all media in the batch. This will allow you not only to batch upload, but also to batch catalog a group of media. To prepare your media files (images, video, sound, etc.) for upload, you must convert the batch of files to a single archive file. MorphoBank will accept archives in either Zip or Tar format. Tar archives may be optionally compressed with Gzip or BZip2. To create Zip archives on Windows, you must use a program like WinZip. On Mac OS X, simply control-click on the folder containing the images and select "Create archive" from the pop-up menu.

Your archive must contain files in MorphoBank's accepted media formats. (For detailed information on what media file formats are accepted see the next FAQ item, listed on this page under 'What media file formats are accepted?'). ) Other formats will be ignored. You may group files in nested folders - they need not be in a single folder.


Your archive must be no greater than 2000MB 2000 MB in size. Archives exceeding this size will not process (please just break them down).
