Add an image to your site with the Image Block

The Image Block is free for all users to use and allows you to add images to your site. To begin adding images on your site, draw out the desired area on the Grid, then select the Image Block from the block picker.

If you need help getting started or adding blocks to your site, check out the Welcome to Univer.se article here.

With each image that you add, you have the ability to style it and add an action that occurs when someone taps on it.

Adding a Photo

When you choose the Image Block, you'll see a list of sources. If you select Photo, a message will prompt you to grant access to your Photo Library. This is necessary to use photos from your device. You can give access to all photos or only selected ones.

If you've denied Univer.se access before, tap "Change Settings." This will take you to your device's Settings app, where you can enable Photo and Camera access.

After granting access, you can choose to open your Camera or access your Camera Roll.

Select a Photo from your Camera Roll or take a photo right from the app
Resize the block as needed by pinching and zooming

Styling

The Image Block also allows you to add additional characters to your images. The Style tab in the Image Block settings allows you to add a filter, change the positioning of your image, or to add a shape.

Add a filter: Scroll through our pre-loaded filter options to apply on top of your photo.

Add a shape: Choose one of our 18 shape options to add a distinct outline or overlay.

Change how your photo fills the block: Select Fit Whole Image to ensure your entire photo fits within your block. Selecting Crop to Fill will zoom in on your photo.
