Use the Insert menu or Image button to add images to a page

You can use the Insert menu or Image button in the toolbar to add an image from your computer or website to a page.

You can add images from other sources by dragging them to the page (see Drag images to a page) or by copying and pasting them on the page (see Copy and paste images).

  1. Place the insertion point in your draft where you want the image to appear.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • Click the Image button in the toolbar.

    • Select Insert > Image.

  3. Select one of the following options from the pop-up menu:

    • From My Computer

    • From Website

    • From Internet

    • From Shared Assets

    Note: If your Contribute administrator has restricted the types of images your user role can insert, you might be able to insert images only from shared assets.

    The Select Image, Choose Image on Website, Browse for Image, or Insert Shared Asset dialog box appears.

    If you have already inserted an image in a page in a Contribute website and you want to reuse the image, select From Website.
  4. Browse to and select the image, and then click the Select button.

    Note: You must select a specific file. You cannot select a folder to insert in a Contribute page.
  5. If the Image Description dialog box appears, enter text to describe the image for users with disabilities or for users whose browsers are set to display text only, and then click OK.

    The image appears in your draft. To make the image web-ready, Contribute reduces large images to the size pre-set by the Contribute administrator, if the administrator has enabled image processing for your role.

    Note: If the image you are inserting is from your computer, you can edit the image inline (if your user role has permission to edit inline), but you can’t edit the image in an external application until you publish the draft. For more information about editing, see Edit an image in Contribute.
    After you insert the image, double-click the image to change the image properties. For more information, see Change image properties.
