The Library in Digital Signage is where all your assets (Images, Video, Fonts, etc.) can be found.
You can use these files when designing slides, adding background music, etc. Files can be either uploaded directly to the cloud, by pasting a web URL of the file, using a local storage file server, or even Google Drive. You can also create folders to organize the files better.
We don’t limit how many files you can store, but rather expect the users not to abuse them. We do monitor it so we can detect abuse use of the free storage offer.
The maximum size of one file can be up to 2 GB. PDF files, presentations, and documents can contain up to 50 pages, larger files should be split before uploading.
Go to your library, hover on one or more files, select the files you want to move, click Cut Selected, open the destination folder, and click Paste Asset(s)
When you enter multi-select mode, the button to remove files appears. If the files are being used in a playlist, you’ll be prompted to remove the file from the playlist as well. If you select yes, the file will be removed from the slide it was on, but the slide itself will remain in the playlist.
Yes, Google Drive lets you access your Google Drive files directly in your library. This way you don’t have to download files to your computer and then upload them to your library at my.playsignage.com.

It is very easy to split PDF files, it is essentially printing a range of pages as a PDF. In this example, we’ll be using Chrome to open the PDF file and then print the page (Ctrl/Cmd + P shortcut) and select a page range of 1 – 50. Then repeat the process with 51-100 and so on.
When you upload a .zip archive, only image files are processed, and other files are skipped. If the zip archive contains files otherwise supported by our service (video, pdf, excel, etc…), you should unpack the zip archive on your computer and upload unpacked files instead.
You can paste the URL of a file, this way you don’t have to download it to your computer first. Our server will download the file directly and a copy of the file will be stored in your Library, this way even if the original file is no longer available (maybe it was removed by the owner), you can still use it. The maximum file size is 200 MB, if the file is larger, you should download it to your computer and upload it instead.
Most people think designing content for digital signage is super difficult, but if you can use Powerpoint, you can also create and design your own content in our editor.
