Use Image blocks for photos, logos, avatars, product images, media library assets, and remote image URLs.
Add an Image block from the left sidebar. You can start from your media library, a URL, or a stock photo, then change the source later from the block controls.
Common Properties
Most blocks share a core set of properties. The right sidebar shows the properties available for the current selection, including controls added by the parent panel.
PropertyDetails
SizeControl how much space the block takes up
Width
Controls the block's horizontal space. Use a fixed value for a predictable footprint, `%` when the width should respond to the canvas or parent panel, or auto sizing when content or layout should decide the width.
Height
Controls the block's vertical space. Height can be fixed, flexible, or constrained with minimum and maximum values when a block needs room to grow without getting too large or too small.
Aspect Ratio
Keeps width and height connected so a block can scale without stretching. This is useful for images, shapes, and blocks that need to preserve a specific proportion.
Set the block's position on the canvas or inside a Free Panel. X controls horizontal placement; Y controls vertical placement. Positions can use fixed units or `%` values with anchors.
Alignment
Move a block to common canvas positions, or use anchors to decide how the block lines up to a percent-based X or Y value.
Rotation and Flip
Rotate the block or flip it horizontally or vertically without changing the block's content.
Lock and Layer Order
Lock a block to avoid accidental edits, or move it forward and backward when blocks overlap.
BackgroundStyle the surface behind the block’s content
Solid
Assign a single color as the background of the block.
Can be templated
Color
Gradient
Use a linear, radial, or conic gradient. Gradients are built from stops, and each stop has a color and a position. Stops are ordered by position, so moving a stop changes how the colors blend across the block.
Can be templated
Stop colors
Stop positions
Linear and conic gradients also include an angle control.
Pattern
Choose a pattern, then customize the colors it exposes. Some patterns also include a size control. Different patterns use different numbers of colors, so the available controls change after you choose a pattern.
Canvas and block backgrounds are separate. A transparent block can show the canvas background or the parent panel behind it.
BorderDefine the block’s edge and corners
Border controls are split into simple and advanced modes.
Simple
Use simple border controls when the same color, thickness, line style, and corner radius should apply everywhere.
Advanced
Open Advanced Border to edit sides and corners separately. Sides can have their own color, thickness, and line style. Corners can have their own radius.
Image borders
When an image uses Contain or Scale Down, the visible image may not fill the whole block. Borders and shadows can follow the rendered image more closely than the full block area.
ShadowLayer shadows to add depth to your blocks
Shadows can be layered. Use a regular shadow for depth, an inner shadow for inset effects, or a glow when the shadow should spread evenly around the block.
Block Specific Properties
PropertyDetails
Media sourceMedia library, external URL, or stock photo
Choose from your organization’s media library, paste an external URL, or select a stock photo from Pexels.
FitHow the image fits inside the block
Fit controls how the image is sized inside the block, including whether it fills, stretches, crops, or stays at its natural size.
OpacityTransparency for the block
Opacity controls transparency for the whole block, including its content and styling. Lower opacity makes the block more transparent.
Can be templated
Opacity
Object positionWhich part of the image stays visible when using cover-style cropping
Image Sources
The source control decides where the block gets its image.
Media Library
Use the Media Library for assets you expect to reuse, such as logos, product photos, brand images, background images, and icons.
You can upload assets from the media browser when your plan supports uploads. Uploaded assets are shared across your organization’s templates, so the same image can be reused without uploading it again for each template.
URL
Use a URL source when the image already exists at an absolute URL, or when the image should come from render-time data through a template variable.
Stock Photos
Use Stock Photos to choose an image provided by Pexels.

Cover
Fills the block and may crop the image
Contain
Keeps the whole image visible inside the block
Fill
Stretches the image to the block size
Scale Down
Keeps the image natural size unless it needs to shrink
None
Keeps the image at its natural size
Templated Content
URL sources can be assigned to a template variable, enabling each image generated to use a different URL.
Many properties can use Variables to assign their value when each image is created.
Variables can be required, ignored, or given a fallback value. When you render the template, pass values with template_values.
