Image
The Image is part of the Image Component Set. It allows a Studio User to add an image to a Page.
Ideas for Using Image
- Create a product information page. Display the product name using a Section Header or Rich Text above an image of a product and add Rich Text below for a product description.
- Attract new job candidates by showing off your team’s personality. The Image Component supports .gif files! Add an animated image to your page to bring it to life.
- Adjust the border radius of an image, under the Styling section, to create rounded edges. This styling option is popular when profiling people, such as an event speaker, author, leader, or team member.

Image Properties
The Image component has the following properties:
- Component Id - Sets the name of the Image component in the app. The Component Id can be referenced using JavaScript to add more functionality to the app as needed.
Pro Tip: It is a best practice to use only letters without spaces for the Component Id. Symbols, spaces, and numbers are not recommended. - Image - Upload a .JPG or .PNG to display an Image. To remove an uploaded Image, click on the Trash Can.
Pro Tip: Optimize all Images for the web to increase app performance and shorten load time. - ALT Text - Sets the text that appears if the Image fails to load. The Alt Text appears in a blank box where the Image would normally appear. It's recommend to always use Alt Text for any Images.
- Link - Sets the link to another Page in the app or an external URL.
Pro Tip: Type in tel:5558675309 to link to a phone number with "5558675309" replaced with the applicable 10-digit phone number or mailto:emailaddress to open up the default email client from the app with "emailaddress" replaced with the email address you want to be sent the email. - Styling
- Border Radius - Sets how rounded Image corners appear by entering a number from 0 to 24. A setting of 0 will result in sharp corners and a setting of 24 will result in rounded corners.
