Editing Images

On the internet, you should always try to have as small file size for images as possible to avoid long downloading times. Because of this the website can be seen as slow and there is a risk that the visitor leaves the site. When you have taken pictures with a digital camera, or scanned an image, the file is often too large. Therefore compress the image to a smaller file size by cropping or resizing it as described below.

Web pages often have a limit for how wide the images can be, check this with your systems administrator. The maximum width is usually around 500-600 pixels. You can also change the actual appearance of the image, see Changing Image Properties.

Access the image editor for editing and saving an image in the following ways:

Using the Image Editor
Using the File Manager

Cropping, Resizing and Transforming an Image

Make changes to the image itself in the following ways:

Cropping an Image
Resizing an Image

Replacing an Image on a Page

Replace an image on a page as follows:

  1. Select the image and click the Insert/edit image button in the toolbar.
  2. Browse to the new image by clicking the File Manager button . Remember that if you upload a new image with the same name as an existing image in the same folder, the new image will replace the old on the web server.

Deleting an Image

To delete an image from the page, select it and press Delete. The image disappears from the page, but is not deleted from the File Manager.
