Image module

Build a deliverable Updated 16 Oct 2026 3 min read

Use the image module to add photos, logos and graphics to a deliverable. Each image is its own module, so you can move it, resize it and link it on its own.

Add an image

  1. Click Add Image in the module bar. The Add Image window opens.
  2. Choose where the image comes from:
  3. Upload Images: pick a file from your computer, or drop it on the dashed box. JPEG, PNG, GIF and WebP files work. The box shows the Maximum file size for your plan.
  4. Library: every image your team has uploaded before. Hover an image and click Insert.
  5. Search FREE Photos: type a word (for example “team meeting”) and press Enter, or click a category such as Business or People. Hover a photo and click Insert.

The image lands on the page as a new module. A free photo is also saved to your library, so you can reuse it later. You will see Image added to Library.

Search FREE Photos: hover a photo to see the photographer and the Insert button

If a file cannot be used, Xtensio tells you why:

  • The uploaded file is not a valid image. The file is not one of the image types above.
  • The file is too big. The file is larger than the maximum size. Make it smaller and try again.

The image toolbar

Click an image to select it. A toolbar appears above it, with an Edit with AI button on the image.

  • Change Image: opens the Add Image window again so you can swap in another image. The module keeps its place on the page.
  • Insert Link: type a web address in the https:// field and click Insert. People who click the image on your shared link or in Present mode go to that page, in a new tab. To change or remove it later, click Insert Link again and use Update or Unlink.
  • Background: colours or an image behind the module. See Add a module background.
  • Delete Module: removes the image. You are asked to confirm, and this cannot be undone.
  • More (three dots): the options below.

More options

  • Image Alt Text: a short description of the image for screen readers. It starts with the file name. Type a better description and click Update.
  • Show Border: draws a thin line around the image. The item then reads Hide Border.
  • Duplicate Module: places a copy of the image right below it.
  • Copy Module: copies the image. Click an empty spot on the page and press Cmd+V (Ctrl+V on Windows) to paste it.

Resize and move an image

  • Resize: select the image and drag the handle on its right or left side. The image keeps its proportions, so the height changes with the width.
  • Move: click an empty part of the page first, so no module is selected. Then press on the image and drag it to its new place.

Your Image Library

Every image you upload or insert from free photos is saved to your team’s Image Library. Open it from Add Image or Change Image, on the Library tab.

A library image with its usage, name, size and actions

Hover an image to see:

  • Used in: how many deliverables use it. Click it to see their names.
  • The name with a pencil. Click the pencil, click into the name, type a new one, then click the check mark to save it.
  • Size, type and date of the file.
  • Insert, plus small buttons for download, link and delete.

Use the menu at the top right to sort by Recent or Sort A-Z.

Edit an image with AI

Select the image and click Edit with AI. The panel shows how many credits each request uses and how many you have left.

Pick a quick action (Find matching image, Generate matching image or On-brand image), or describe what you want in the box and click the arrow. Xtensio shows the result on the page with a bar at the bottom. Click the check mark in that bar to keep it.
