The Image Element lets you add an image file to your canvas.

Adding an Image Element

When you add an Image Element it will open on a window that will let you select an item from your Media Manager, Pixabay, Unsplash, or Pexels. You can also upload a new image by dragging the file on your computer to the dialog box. You could also click cancel to be left with an empty Image Element.

After selecting an image, it will fill the space, you can now move and resize the image, or use the Gear icon to open the Edit Element tools.

The default size behavior of an Image Element is to “cover” the space, meaning the image will be cropped to fit the shape of the element (red outline). This can be changed in the size edit options.
