How to replace a photo

You replace a photo on your website yourself in the editor. You upload a different one from your computer or phone, and the editor makes it smaller by itself. Once you publish, everyone can see it.

In the editor: the Edit main photo button above the photo, Upload another photo in the window, the preview changes, the photo description for search engines and blind users is rewritten, Save, 2 unpublished changes on the bar and finally Publish.
The animation shows the whole process, from the button above the photo to publishing.

Steps

  1. Open your website in editing mode. You sign in without a password, using a link from an email.
  2. Above the photo, click the orange Edit main photo button. Depending on your website, it may have a different name, for example Edit project photos or Edit room cards. For cards and galleries, then click the row in the window whose photo you're changing.
  3. Next to the photo, click Upload another photo (if there isn't one yet, Upload photo) and choose a file. JPEG, PNG or WebP work well. The editor reduces a large photo from a mobile to 1600 px before uploading it.
  4. Rewrite the Photo description for search engines and blind users: briefly, what's in the photo. Search engines read the description, and screen readers read it aloud to blind people.
  5. Click Save. You'll see the new photo on the page straight away, but for now only you can see it: an unpublished change is added to the bar at the top. The photo and the description count separately.
  6. When everything is as it should be, click Publish on the bar. Only then does the photo change on the public website.

Tip: Each time you publish, a version is saved. If the new photo doesn't work out, one button takes you back to the previous one.
