What you will do

Replace an existing image, update a background image, and add a Media block with the right display settings.

Replacing an image

Adding a new image

In a column, select Add block and choose Media, then select an image from Uploads.Use the Media block controls to adjust how the image appears:
  • Alignment — left, centre, or right within its column.
  • Maximum width — choose a preset or enter a custom value such as 1000px. This is a limit, not a fixed width: the image can still shrink to fit its column on smaller screens.
  • Border radius — rounded corners on the image.
Use a source image large enough for the space it fills, or it may look blurry. An image’s description in Uploads is used as its alt text, so write a concise description for people who cannot see the image.

This lesson covers replacing images in Studio. Select an image directly to change it, even when it is inside another block. For a background image, select the section and use its background image setting.

Select the replacement from Uploads. The picker opens in the current file’s folder; use the breadcrumbs to browse to another folder.

Select Crop to trim the image. You can choose an aspect ratio to keep repeated images, such as cards, consistent.

Adjust the crop to keep the important part of the image. Set a focal point to choose the area prioritised when the image is displayed.

The same replacement and crop controls apply wherever the image appears, including cards.

To add an image, add a Media block inside a column and choose a file from Uploads.

The Media block includes alignment controls, so you can place the image to the left, centre, or right of its column.

Set a maximum width with a preset or a custom value. It limits the image’s width without preventing it from becoming smaller on narrow screens.

You can also apply a border radius to round the image corners.

Finally, check the image’s description in Uploads. Studio uses it as alt text, so make it clear and useful for people using assistive technology.
