Resize an Image

  1. Click on the image you’ve added.

  2. Use the purple resize handles to adjust its size on the slide.

  3. For precise control, use the toolbar options at the top:

    • Crop – Focus on the important part of the image.

    • Shape – Switch between rectangle, circle, or free form.

    • Reset changes – Restore the original proportions if the image looks cropped.

Edit an Image

Click Edit image to open the image panel (see screenshot below). From here you can:

  • Change image – Replace it with a different file.

  • Crop image – Adjust the visible area.

  • Add Alt text – Improve accessibility and SEO.

  • Apply effects – Turn on Color overlay or Black & white filter.

  • Reset changes – Restore the image to its original state.

Notes and Tips

  • Image uploads support JPG, PNG, GIF, or SVG formats.

  • You can add a border by placing the image inside a container element and editing its border in the design settings.

  • For immersive visuals, use a full-screen image slide instead of placing the image as a standard element.
