Images on boards

You can place a standalone image anywhere on a board — a reference photo, a map, a mood-board picture, a logo. It behaves like any other node: drag it, resize it, put it in a frame, send it behind or in front of other nodes.

  1. In the drawing toolbar at the bottom of the board, click the image tile.
  2. An empty image box drops onto the canvas with three choices:
    • Library — pick from your asset library.
    • URL — paste a link to an image on the web.
    • Upload — choose a file from your device.
  3. Once you pick a source, the image fills the box and sizes itself to the picture’s proportions.

Image nodes have connection handles like every other node — hover an image to reveal them and drag to another node to draw an edge. Handy for linking a reference photo to the thing it depicts.

Select the image and open the Inspector (right rail):

  • Alt text — a short description, used by screen readers and shown if the image can’t load. Good practice for shared boards.
  • Replace image — clears the current picture and brings back the library / URL / upload picker.
