Images in Remixer

 

Before you get started

Before you begin using Remixer's image editor, please note the following:
  • You must use an image 'Web Section' in order to place an image on your page. Images can only be placed within the pre-defined area of that section. It's currently not possible to upload images to any location outside of an image 'Web Section'.
  • It's currently not possible to resize image file sizes in Remixer.
  • To improve your site speed, make sure your image file sizes are optimal. A general size would be 300k for logos and 100k for all other images. The more images, the longer your page will take to load.
  • For image editing, you can zoom, flip, or rotate images, and apply color filters.

Uploading images into Remixer

Remixer allows you to upload images from several sources such as social media accounts, Pixabay, or an existing website.

Not all image formats function with Remixer. For example, if you try to upload a .svg or .tiff file, Remixer will display an error message.

It's recommend you use .png or .jpg image formats.

You can also add a .gif images, but they will display as static images even if the gif itself is a moving image.

Once uploaded, you can add them to your website.

To upload:

  1. Open Remixer.
