How do I add pictures to my site?

Adding pictures to your site is a great way to stand out. There are various ways you can add attractive images to your website.

Use the Picture widget

1. In the Sitebuilder, go to Widgets. 
2. Select Popular from the drop-down menu.
3. Drag and drop a Picture widget onto your page.
   
   
    
4. The File Manager will open up, allowing you to either browse through the existing files or upload a new image file by clicking Upload Files. You can also choose to Add Stock Images which gives you access to a Pixabay's gallery of stock images (available on select packages).
   
   
    
5. Once the image file has been added to the File Manager, click on the picture file you want to use and click Select. The picture will be added to your gallery.
   • To upload multiple pictures at the same time: Hold down "ctrl" (for PC users) or the "cmd" key (for Mac users), while clicking on the pictures you would like to upload. Click Select in the bottom right corner to upload the images.
      

To edit your picture

The Picture widget allows you to customize the look of your image, create an alt text and set up a link. Please check out Editing Pictures for further information on how to use the integrated image editing tool, Aviary.
 

Use the Gallery widget

The Gallery widget give you the opportunity to create a professional gallery without needing to upload and resize pictures individually. With this gallery, site visitors will be able to browse through attractive, clickable thumbnails – it’s perfect for any site’s portfolio!

To scroll through your gallery, site visitors simply click on the picture and click Next tab in the top right corner. To scroll back to the previous picture, click Prev in the top left corner.

Adding a gallery to your site is easy – here's how:
