Files

Image files are used in authentik to add an icon to new applications that you add, or to a new source, and for defining the "branded" look of the authentik interface, with your company's logo and title, a favicon, or a background image for the flows.

authentik provides a central place for storing all such files, the authentik/data/media/public directory. By default files are stored on disk, but S3 storage can also be configured.

Upload and manage files

To upload and use images files, follow these steps:

1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.

2. Navigate to Customization > Files.

   Here you can upload a new file, delete a file, and search for a file that you already uploaded.

Using image URLs

Instead of uploading an image file to be used as an application's icon or source's icon, you can instead modify the specific object (application or source) and enter the URL for the image you want to use for that object.
