Add product photography, campaign artwork, or another image to the active Visual.

Add an image from connected content

Browse content appears only when your workspace and host app provide a connected asset library.

  1. Select the Visual that should receive the image.

  2. Click Browse content in the top toolbar.

  3. Open a collection and select one or more images.

  4. Click Add to workspace.

  5. Open Content Shelf and select an imported image to add it to the active Visual.

Upload from your device

If upload is available in your workspace, choose the image upload action and select a file from your device. The image is added to the active Visual and becomes available in Content Shelf for reuse.

Reuse an image

  1. Open Content Shelf in the left panel.

  2. Select an image to add it to the active Visual.

If a newly imported image is missing, click Refresh assets.

Adjust the Image layer

  1. Select the Image layer on the canvas or in Layers.

  2. Use Transform to change its position, size, or rotation.

  3. Use the Image section to choose fit or fill and adjust crop, scale, anchor, or offset.

  4. Double-click the image to reposition its content directly inside the frame.

Selected Image layer with Transform, Appearance, and Image controls open in the inspector.

Troubleshooting

  • If Browse content is unavailable, the connected library is not enabled for this workspace or host app. Use a device upload if available.

  • If the asset does not appear in Content Shelf, click Refresh assets.

  • If an image is added to the wrong Visual, undo the change, select the intended Visual, and add it again.

  • If the image looks stretched or clipped, select its layer and change the fit, fill, or crop settings.

Next guide

Continue with Edit text and layers to position the image alongside the rest of your content.
