First, replace the placeholder image.

Click Select A Different Image to choose from:

  • Stock Images and Stock Icons: Enter a keyword to find pre-selected stock images and icons that are most suitable for your website.
  • My Images: Select from images you have already uploaded, or click Upload File to upload more images. You can also filter to image files you previously uploaded for use on print products, such as business cards, flyers and signage.

Once you have selected the image you want to use, you'll return to the image editor where you can crop the image to the portion you want to display on your website.

At the bottom of the editor are your SEO options. Click Add Image SEO to optimize your image for search engines.

  • Use the Alt Text Attribute to describe the images for search engines like Google. It is recommended that you keep your description under ten words.
  • Use the Title Attribute to add a tool tip when your site's visitors hover on the image.

Click Save Changes when you are done.

NOTE: The Builder supports .jpg, .png, and .gif (static and animated) files. The recommended size limit per file is 10 MB. Animated gifs will not animate if used as a background.
