Add your photos
Quick recallYou type a long headline and the letters get smaller. Why?Think of your answer, then open.
Text in a template shrinks to fit its box. Write more and it shrinks. Pick a size yourself and it stops.
A real photo of your own product beats any stock photo. Without one, Design has free photos at no cost.
Photos
Press Photos on the left. Upload sends photos to Media and onto the page. You also get a search box, buttons like Food and drink, and Choose photos for Media and your connected storage.

- Background: drag it to the edge, or press Fill page. Free makes it a frame again.
- Crop: double click the photo, or press Crop. Drag it inside the frame and use Zoom.

- Press Done.

Check what stuck
You want a new picture in the photo frame of a template. What is the quickest way?

Drag your photo onto the template's photo. Dropping a photo on another photo swaps the picture and keeps the frame.
What does Fill page do?
Show the answer
Puts the photo behind everything, over the whole page. The photo becomes the page background.
You uploaded a photo in Design. Where does it also go?

To Media. Uploaded photos are kept in Media, so you can use them again.
