*Note on Images for Educators: Please remember to cite the images you use in your buILder. If this is an image acquired online, usually this means including an access date, the site address (URL) and when possible an image ID number. Also, make sure images are public domain, creative commons (non-commercial sharing), etc.

Inserting Images

Make sure the image you wish to use is saved on your computer
To insert image, click on the top section of the editing tool

A box will appear

Next to Image URL click on which will allow you to upload an image stored on your computer

When you have the image selected double click on it and it will appear in browse box

When the correct file name appears, click

The title of the image will appear at the bottom of the box

Double click on selected image

A preview of the image will appear in the image box

Type in an image description. This is helpful, for example, for people who use speech browsers

If you want to add space around your image to avoid crowding it with text, click on the appearance button. In this window, you can set the space around your image in pixels, align it, or re-size it.

Click Insert button to insert image onto page

Editing Images

Double click on the image you wish to edit

When you double click on the image, lines with little boxes will appear on the perimeter of the image

If you drag your mouse to the line, the mouse arrow should turn into a different shape

Drag the picture in whichever direction you want until it is the size you desire

Note: If your page takes a long time to load after you insert an image, the image is probably too large (not the appearance of the image, but the size in megabytes/kilobytes). There is certain software available to reduce to the size of the image. If you do not have that software, remove the image and replace it with a smaller one.
