Working with Images

The Image Editor is used when working with images in EPiServer CMS. To display images on a page they must be available in the File Manager. Many organizations set up an image archive, containing images that editors can use on their pages. Others allow their editors to freely use their own images.

Unlike many other computer applications, a web page does not embed images. Instead, it uses a link to the image and location on the web server upon which the image is stored. This means that if you delete an image from the web server it will also disappear from the page.

You can work with the following image editing tools:

Click to insert an image from the File Manager. Also use this tool to set properties for the image on a page, for example add a class. See "Changing Image Properties".

Click to make changes to the image itself on the page instead of using an external image editor, for example, cropping, resizing and transforming (flipping, rotating and turning to grayscale). You can also save the changed image as a copy with a new name. See "Editing Images".
