Click on an image to make it active. You'll see a blue border appear, with blue handles in each corner and a green handle at the top.

To resize an image, drag the blue handles to increase or decrease the size. If you're using a touchscreen, you can drag the handles with one finger (note: you can't use a pinch and zoom motion to resize images). Notice how the image height and width (in pixels) displays in the top left corner.

To rotate, click on the green handle and you'll see it changes to an arrow. While holding down the mouse, move it left and right to rotate the image. On a touchscreen, you can use two fingers to rotate the image. Notice how the angle of rotation displays in the top left corner.

When you click on an image and then click Inspector (i) button, you get a number of other options:

Click on the 'Add attribution to page' button and the image attribution will appear in a text box underneath the image. The link to the original source image will become active when the book is in Read mode.

Learn more about copyright and attribution.

Here's how you add a Hyperlink. You can either copy and paste the URL (web address) or you can link the image to specific page in your book. Just type the page number in.

NOTE: Links aren't active until you switch to Read Mode or publish the book online.

Likewise, you can follow the same procedure to add alt text to an image. This is a description of the image that is used by screen readers to help visually impaired users read the book (the more descriptive, the better). You add the alt text where it says Accessibility.

You can adjust the transparency of an image by using the slider.

If you right-click on the image, you'll see a little menu appear. With this you can:

Yes! Right click on an image (or use the Inspector) to crop the image. Go freestyle or lock the aspect ratio to make it the right size to fit your page.

If you're layering several images, or adding design elements to your book you may want to remove the background from an image. You can do this by right-clicking and selecting Remove background.
​

This is a premium feature, but users on the free plan can try the background remover feature a limited number of times. If you want to revert back to the original version of the image, use the undo button in the tool bar.

Open the pen tool by clicking on the pencil icon in the top right of an image. You can use the pen tool to erase parts of the image, change the background colour, or add your own drawings and annotations.
