Image Size

Here you can resize the image and give it padding. Note that if you resize the image here, it will squish or stretch the image, which might not look very good. We recommend that you resize the image before uploading it.

1. Press Edit.
2. Original Size: Displays the image at the size it was when it was uploaded.
3. Scaled: Resizes the image based the height and width you provide (in pixels).
   1. Scale Proportionally: Keeps the original proportions (so if you change the height, it will figure out the correct width). We recommend you keep this checked.
4. Spacing Around Image: This adds padding, or space, around the image.
   1. Vertical: Padding on the top and bottom.
   2. Horizontal: Padding on the right and left sides.
5. Press OK to submit your changes.

Image Alignment

If you would like to have text wrap around your image, you need to change the alignment.

Selecting "Left" will have the image on the left and the text wrapping to the right.

Alternate Image Text (Flyover Text)

Alternate image text is printed in place of your image for people with visual disabilities who are using screen readers.
