title: SharePoint: Site Collection Images vs Images vs Style Library Images
body: <p>Something I've been wondering.  Is there a best practice or rule of thumb on how to store your images?  I see 3 ways currently:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Site Collection Images</li>
  <li>Images library</li>
  <li>Style Library/Images</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>My rule of thumb has been:  if you have only 1 site collection for your project, then use the Site Collection Images.  Otherwise, create a folder structure like:  /Style Library//images.</p>
  
  <p>What is the difference between Site Collection images and the Images library?</p>
