# Method name: createGalleryItem(galleryId: string, item: Item, options: CreateGalleryItemOptions)

# Method package: wixProGalleryBackend

# Method menu location: wixProGalleryBackend --> proGallery --> createGalleryItem

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-pro-gallery-backend/pro-gallery/create-gallery-item.md

# Method Description:

Creates a media item in a specified gallery.

The `createGalleryItem()` function returns a Promise that resolves to a newly-created gallery item after it has successfully been created.

<blockquote class="important">

__Important:__
When creating `image` items in your gallery, the images must be uploaded to the [Wix Media Manager](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-media-uploading-media-to-the-media-manager) first as the `imageInfo` parameter currently only supports the Wix media URL.

</blockquote>



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.
