Use the image widget to insert an image into your site. You can customize images to act as buttons and navigate to other pages or sites, download files, or activate popups. Images are a great way to decorate sites, show off products or storefronts, and create an additional way to communicate with visitors.
The following image file types are supported:
png, jpg, jpeg, gif, svg, svg+xml, ico, x-icon, webp
Each site can contain up to 15,000 media files, including images, audio, and files. Additional files result in an error message. The size limit per file is 200MB.
Image files should not contain spaces or special characters.
