Adding and Editing Images with Website Builder v7

NOTE: This article is for Website Builder version 7. Your version displays at the top of the screen when you log in to your Website Builder account. Not using version 7? Search for Website Builder version 6 articles.

When you select a theme for your website, it already comes with images. But we understand you might have images of your own that you want to display on your Website. That's why Website Builder v7 lets you easily add and edit your own images. To add links to images, see Linking Text and Images with Website Builder v7

NOTE: Images need to to be formatted as .jpg, .jpeg, .gif or .png files. Image uploads are limited to 15MB per file. While images as large as 5000 x 5000 pixels can be uploaded, images will not be displayed larger than 1920 x 1080 pixels.
