Use Image Content Blocks in the New Builder
Use Image content blocks to add visual elements to your email campaigns. Images make your content more engaging, and can be used as clickable links to drive sales and interactions.
In this article, you’ll learn how to use Image content blocks in the new builder.
Before you start
Here are some things to know before you begin this process.
- This article tells you how to use Image content blocks for the new builder. For more information on Image content blocks in the classic builder, check out Use Image Content Blocks in the Classic Builder.
- You can include as many Image content blocks as you need, but keep our image requirements in mind so your content displays as expected on both desktop and mobile devices.
- When you upload an image to the content studio, we change the file name to a unique identifier that can't be duplicated or changed.
- The content studio supports JPG, JPE, JPEG, GIF, PNG, and BMP image files.
- To embed multiple images in a single block, or to include images next to Text or Button blocks, use a Layout content block.
