How to Upload Series Thumbnails to Bunny Storage: A Quick Guide

If you're managing video content with Bunny Stream, you've probably noticed that while videos and their thumbnails upload smoothly, other media files need a different approach. Series thumbnails, movie posters, background images, subtitles—these all require their own home in Bunny's ecosystem.

The good news? Setting up storage for these files is straightforward once you know the steps.

Why You Need a Separate Storage Zone

Bunny Stream handles video content beautifully, but it's optimized specifically for streaming video files. For everything else that makes your content library look professional and organized, you'll need to set up a dedicated storage zone. Think of it as creating a filing cabinet specifically for your visual assets and supporting materials.

This separation actually works in your favor—it keeps your content organized and makes it easier to manage different types of files without cluttering your streaming setup.

Setting Up Your Bunny Storage Zone

Before you can start uploading thumbnails and other assets, you'll need a storage zone configured on Bunny. If you haven't done this yet, the setup process takes just a few minutes. Once your storage zone is ready, you'll have a centralized location for all your non-video content that integrates seamlessly with your streaming workflow.

Many content creators find that 👉 reliable CDN storage solutions like Bunny offer faster delivery speeds and better global coverage compared to traditional hosting—especially important when your audience spans multiple regions.

Upload Your Files in Four Simple Steps

Step 1: Access Your Storage Dashboard

Log into your Bunny account and navigate to the Storage section. You'll see a list of your storage zones—click on the one you've set up for your media assets.

Step 2: Upload Your Thumbnail

Click the Upload button or simply drag and drop your files directly into the browser window. Bunny accepts multiple file formats, so whether you're uploading PNG, JPEG, or WebP thumbnails, the process remains the same.

Step 3: Copy the File URL

Once your file finishes uploading, locate it in the file list. Click the three dots in the top right corner of the file preview and select "Copy URL." This URL is what you'll use to connect the thumbnail to your series.

Step 4: Link to Your OTTfeed Series

Head over to your OTTfeed account, select the series you want to update, and paste the URL into the thumbnail field. The connection happens instantly, and your series now displays the professional thumbnail you've uploaded.

Why This Workflow Matters

This two-platform approach might seem like an extra step at first, but it gives you more control over your content delivery. Your thumbnails load from optimized CDN storage, which means faster page loads and a better experience for your viewers—regardless of where they're watching from.

For anyone managing multiple series or a growing content library, having dedicated storage through 👉 a powerful CDN platform like Bunny means you're not constantly worrying about bandwidth costs or slow load times as your audience grows.

The process becomes second nature after you've done it a few times. Upload, copy the URL, paste—and your content looks polished and professional across all your streaming platforms.
