In this article, you’ll learn how to use Image + Text content blocks in the classic builder.

Before you start

Here are some things to know before you begin this process.

• This article tells you how to use Image + Text content blocks for the classic builder. For more information on image content blocks in the new builder, check out our articles on Heading, Paragraph, Image, and Layout content blocks.
• You can add as many Image + Text 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 one or more images without text, use an Image or Image Group content block. If you want a background behind your image and text, use the Image Card content block.
