Image Widget

Use the image widget to insert an image into your site. You can customize images to act as buttons and navigate to other pages or sites, download files, or activate popups. Images are a great way to decorate sites, show off products or storefronts, and create an additional way to communicate with visitors.

The following image file types are supported:

png, jpg, jpeg, gif, svg, svg+xml, ico, x-icon, webp

Note

  • Each site can contain up to 15,000 media files, including images, audio, and files. Additional files result in an error message. The size limit per file is 200MB.

  • Image files should not contain spaces or special characters.

Note
  • When uploading photos to use in your site, make sure to get permission to use photos coming from photographers, businesses, and other third parties.
  • Using the image widget does not change the background picture. Instead, it adds a picture onto a row or column. To learn how to add a background image, see Customize Background.

To add the image widget:

  1. In the left panel, click Widgets.
  2. Click and drag the widget into your site.
