About Adding Images

To place an image on a page, it must be uploaded to your Drupal Cloud site. These images are not stored with any background images you may have uploaded. There are two basic steps to inserting an image into a page:

  1. Upload your image to your site
  2. Format and insert your image

It is best to edit and resize your image outside of Drupal in your favorite image editing program. This allows Drupal's responsive design feature to be more precise. You can upload an image to Drupal to determine an appropriate size before resizing.

Here are some things to consider about uploaded images:

  • maximum file size per upload: unlimited*
  • permitted file extensions: all
  • maximum image resolution: 1200x1200
  • maximum number of files per operation: unlimited

To be sure the actual image size is being used, delete any height or width values in the boxes or click the revert icon.
