What is an Image block?
An Image block places a photo, graphic, logo, or Lucide icon in a column. You can link the image, set alt text, and choose how wide it is on desktop and mobile.
Use Image for photos, logos, and icons. Use Video when you want a play-button thumbnail that opens a video URL. Use Graphic Text when the “image” is styled wording baked to a PNG.
How to add
- Open the Blocks tab in the left sidebar.
- Drag Image into a column on the canvas.
- Click the block to edit its content and properties.
