Images: Editing in detail

You are adding an image to your email.

After you choose the image, here are the sidebar design options available to you.

If there is no image, you will not be able to toggle off the button or click the box.
​
Once there is an image, if the image size is bigger than the box, this option is enabled automatically. Toggle off Auto width to resize your image.

If Auto width is toggled off, you will be able to check Full width on mobile if desired.

Use this to change the positioning of the image. You can align the image to the text.

Toggle this setting ON or OFF to indicate whether your image is dynamic.

A dynamic image is one which responds to data. To do this, the URL of the image includes a field or fields which can change.
​
​For example:
Your image has the URL --> https://your link/images/?imageBanner={{customer_ID}}

Customer_ID is a data field. Each time the data changes, your image will change accordingly.

Let's say your customer ID is "first name", and you are sending springtime birthday greetings. Your people will get personalized birthday greetings. (Notice the name change in the images below.)

Click on Apply effects to load an image editing tool that allows you to resize the image, apply visual effects, etc.

Click on Change image to open your file manager.

Search free photos connects you with Pexels and Pixabay which provide free images available for use under the Creative Commons Zero license:
​

Search in folder: If you have created folders in ChurchBee, you can search them for your images.

This is the location of your chosen image.

You can also paste an external URL to load an image.

Enter the text that should be displayed when images are turned off. This is a best practice in email design since there are still email clients that have images turned off by default. Adding alternate text also makes your images more accessible.

Use this option to round the corners of an image you selected within the builder.

More options button toggled off (image above): all corners rounded in the same way.
​More options button toggled on (image below): each corner can be rounded separately.

The Action section connects your image to an action. In other words, when a viewer clicks on the image, something happens. The URL tells ChurchBee where to go on click.
​
What can happen?

Link file (see yellow words in image above): You can also link your image to a file that you previously uploaded through ChurchBee's file manager.
